Brody 🏒
I miss you.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Ew. Don't.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Ugh fine, then I won't fly
you out for a game.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Fine, I take it back. I miss
you too.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
But, like, no pap photos of us
because I can't deal with that yet.
So we need to be discreet.
delivered
Brody 🏒
That's totally fine, Ellie. I'd
do anything for some sister time.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
What game you want me
there for?
delivered
Brody 🏒
How about in a month?
We play the Ducks.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Yeah, I guess that works
for me.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Consider yourself booked for
like four days. I'll send you
the flight deets later. And if
you don't bring my favorite
dogs with you, I'll disown
you as my sister.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Half sister.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Sister. You're not half a person.
We're not playing that game. I
know we weren't raised in the
same house or by the same
parents, but Dad loves you.
And I love you. And you're
my sister in all the ways that
matter to me, El.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Yeah, I know. I love you, dude.
Just giving you shit.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
I really do miss you though. Even
though I wanted to prove I could
do shit on my own.
delivered
Brody 🏒
I know. And I love you so
much more for it, though you
can use me for clout any day.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Never.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
How is life going for you? Any
ladies? Do I need to be prepared
to meet a girlfriend?
delivered
Brody 🏒
Hell no. Still just vibing.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
So basically being a man slut
like normal?
delivered
Brody 🏒
Yes.
delivered
Brody 🏒
What about you? Any new
boy toys?
delivered
Ellie 🐞
HA!
delivered
Ellie 🐞
No. Nowhere close. I don't have
time to meet anyone anyways.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
And even if I did, you'll be the
last to know.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Excuse me?
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Listen, I love you and I love you
watching out for me. But I need
to prove to myself, not just you,
that I'm able to pick a guy who
isn't using me or won't abuse me.
I don't want another Owen. Ever.
But you have to let me figure it out
on my own.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Are these your words or are
they coming from Seth?
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Both. Seth helped me come to that
decision, but that's his job. I pay
him bucko bucks to therapist me.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Your grammar appalls me.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Shut the hell up, sports
scholarship boy. At least I got a
scholarship for my grades.
delivered
Brody 🏒
And yet you never got a degree.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Low blow, jackass.
delivered
Brody 🏒
I know, I'm sorry. I didn't get a
degree either if it helps. Just
playing in the NHL now, so
delivered
Ellie 🐞
And I'm making money of
sponsorships and social media.
We both thriving.
delivered
Brody 🏒
I really am proud of you, I
hope you know that.
delivered
Ellie 🐞
And I couldn't be more
proud of you, big bro.
delivered
Brody 🏒
Never call me that again. 🤢
delivered
Ellie 🐞
Fine with me. 🤷🏼♀️
