[SENT BY EVIE] Hey! Are you here?
[FROM CONNOR] Yeah, I’m already inside. You’ll see me when you come in
[EVIE] I saw paparazzi on my way in, I think. Did you see anyone famous in here?
[CONNOR] There’s what?
[EVIE] Yeah! There’s guys with cameras out there. And a Rolls-Royce. I had to park next to it, I was terrified I’d ding it getting out of my car.
[EVIE] Is something wrong?
[CONNOR] Yeah, kind of. Evie, not to sound like a dick, but do you know who I am?
[EVIE] *laughs* Yeah, you’re Connor from the park.
[CONNOR] Yeah, I’m him, but I’m also Connor MacArthur. The prince Connor MacArthur. I’m sorry for not telling you, I thought you knew.
[EVIE] Oh my god! I thought I knew you from somewhere but I had no idea! Oh my god, I didn’t recognize the prince. I’m so sorry, I should’ve known—
[CONNOR] No! No, I’m glad you didn’t. I hope this doesn’t change anything.
[EVIE] Why would it?
[CONNOR] Because this is my life. Being followed around with cameras. I mean, I don’t want to assume you’re looking for something long term but if you are then… you need to know that upfront.
[EVIE] It’s… a little different. Now that I know about you being, well, you. But I really enjoy talking to you, it doesn’t change my feelings there.
[CONNOR] I can’t begin to tell you how relieved I am to hear that. But, seriously, it’s not very easy—
[EVIE] Let’s talk about that later. Let’s enjoy ourselves right now, yeah? How’s your day been?
[CONNOR] Right, ok. I’m going to head out, then you should probably wait about, I don’t know, ten or fifteen minutes, ok? They should be gone by then.
[EVIE] Ok… But is this really necessary? Like actually?
[CONNOR] Yes. I know it’s weird, but I promise, it’s for your own good. Trust me. And, I had a nice time, Evie. I’ll text you later.
[EVIE] Ok, I trust you. Talk to you later, Connor.
