EDEN: Really? Lonely?

CONNOR: A little. The days are so busy though, that helps. My brothers are about to start Waves training camp, as I’m sure you know. They’ll blow up our family text chain at night when they’re stuck at the team hotel.

EDEN: Nice :) You’re close?

CONNOR: With my siblings? Very. Rawley is probably my closest friend.

EDEN: That’s really cool. I can see why it’s hard to be away from Orlando.

EDEN: I always wished I had a sibling growing up. Although my parents tried to keep me entertained.

CONNOR: I didn’t get so lucky in the parent department, so there’s that.

EDEN: I’m sorry. If you ever want to talk about it…

CONNOR: Another time maybe.

EDEN: :)

EDEN: Put us together, and we’d have the perfect family

CONNOR: Genius…

EDEN: What are you doing with your free day?

CONNOR: Hiking I think…seems like a very LA thing.

CONNOR: What about you?

EDEN: Not the most exciting day for me. I need to get the secondary submissions done for my med school applications.

CONNOR: Secondary? Like it’s a second round of requests after your main app?

EDEN: Basically. That’s a good way of describing it. I got requests from seventeen schools total…so it’s a lot.

CONNOR: Jesus. Then do you find out if you’re admitted?

EDEN: Nope. If you make it past this round, you have to interview with each school.

CONNOR: Damn. But I guess they need to make sure you want to be a doctor.

EDEN: Exactly. Meanwhile, it’s no fun for me today.

CONNOR:

EDEN: Well, happy hiking. You can message me whenever if you want to.

CONNOR: I like how we have this weekly thing going. Better than yearly.

EDEN: Definitely

THE NEXT SATURDAY

CONNOR: Saturday morning weekly check-in.

EDEN: Haha, I was wondering if you’d stick to the schedule.

CONNOR: I never deviate from a plan. Well, unless a better one comes along.
