considering everything that hailey had been through over the past couple of years, the femme is honestly not sure she even knows what a functional relationship should be like. maybe she’s just completely clueless about relationships all together, that’s what it felt like sometimes. they were so risky and it always seemed to end in heartache. even though she thought that she did everything right in her marriage, that clearly wasn’t the case. hailey imagines shawn probably feels the same way about their previous relationship. and it wasn’t that he did anything wrong, hailey just allowed the words and promises from justin reentering her life to take over everything. “so many projects. levi’s, jimmy choo, tiffanys, victoria’s secret. “ she was definitely throwing herself into work to keep herself sufficiently distracted from her emotions. “can we be expecting new music any time soon?” the girl asked, raising a brow in his direction. “i got a couple things for my dad but that’s about as far as i got. at least it’s a start, right?”
Shawn had toyed with the idea of putting himself out there again but at the end of the day he just felt like it wasn’t worth the hassle. It was easier forming no attachments, hooking up when he felt lonely and calling it a night. He also knew it wouldn’t be fair to start a relationship with someone else, while being hung up on the girl that was currently standing in front of him. He lifted a brow when Hailey started to name all the projects she was doing right now but he wasn’t surprised since she always had such a strong drive to work. “Pretty impressive, so I should be on the look out for some new photoshoots soon?” Shawn’s words came out sounding a little teasing but then he worried he’d gone a little too far and tensed up a bit, but did his best to shake it off. “Uh, I’m hoping to put out some new stuff, maybe have a new album out before my next tour starts!” Shawn gave her a smile, it was easy to be happy when he was talking about his music and the fact that he was touring again soon. He hadn’t done a world tour since 2019 and he was looking forward to being back out there again. “Good start if you ask me, especially if your dad is hard to buy for? Best to get him out of the way first!” The small talk kind of made him feel a little tense, a little part of Shawn wanted to just make a quick exit and walk away. But there was another part of him that had really missed Hailey, and he wanted to stick around and talk to her a little more.
