“Yeah, we’ll be out in a minute!” I call out to my mum before shutting the door to our room, exhaling as I do. I turn to look at you, watching as you set your bag down by the window looking out over the water. “Couldn’t tell you were nervous at all, darling,” I say with just a hint of a teasing tone.

We’d just boarded the yacht to spend a weekend with my family in St. Barts, and even though we’ve been dating for a couple months now, I didn’t quite realize you hadn’t met any of them (even my mum) before I surprised you with this trip just three days ago. You weren’t amused in the slightest.

My bands hiatus officially started just about a week ago, and I’m more than ready to start my long deserved relaxation time before I start working on my first solo album later on next year. This was one of my biggest reasons for planning this trip with my family and wanting to bring you along…I just happened to forget about you being nervous to meet them.
