(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : OMG JOEY SAID THE WORDS!

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : AND YOU SAID THEM BACK!!

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : And I'm dumb. OMG 😂😍😂

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : It is about damned time.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : It's been like. Forever. A year or nearly?

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : 😂

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : I thought your first reaction was a bit anticlimactic. lol

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : I thought you were saying that Joey called him charming af 😂

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : He did say the words! And I did! And yes, almost a year. A year next month.

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : lol no. I don't even know if he's met Yule

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : How's it feeeeeel?

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : I'm sorry, gorgeous. Your future wife is kinda dumb for being so smart 😛

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : So like, I have this playlist of songs that make me think about Joey, or Joey and I and how I am in denial half the time, and how... I mean.. yeah. So a song came up and I added it to my playlist, then jokingly told him we should get tattoos together... and it started this whole conversation and he said basically, like... what we have both known but never said...

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : then, when I said it back, he was like - duh

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : It feels... I mean, good? Like, nothing has changed at all, I just don't have to worry so much about not saying the words

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : Pretty sure we've both known forever... so I suppose it just makes me feel more... relaxed in the us that we are

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : Good!

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : That's the way it should be. Like relaxing.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : Like a hot bath.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : Man, we gotta do another movie night...

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : A hot bath, with bubbles that smell really good and makes you want to sink in

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : See. This is why we get along so well. You know what's best in life. <4

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : Uh. <3

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : <3!

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : Is it okay if I tell you I'm proud of you?

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : Cuz I'm proud of you 😃

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : Proud of me?

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : You wanna try and tell me you weren't scared of saying the words?

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : Not as scared as I was for feeling them... which, I mean, I tried not to. I didn't want to. But fuck if I had control over it.

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : I honestly don't know what kept me from saying them. More just accepting it myself I think.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : But you've known forever. It was all semantics.

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : I mean, yeah. I did... But knowing and admitting it are two different things!

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : I so wanna make faces at you right now.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : We live in such very different kinds of denial.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : BUT!

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : I am happy for you.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : And we will celebrate on Friday.

(TXT to Nicole) Sparrow : 😘🍸😘

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : Yes we do. Two Different Denial Worlds

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : See you Friday, Bird!

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : 🐦

(TXT to Sparrow) Nicole : (I am happy too)
