For Christ’s sake, Mum, of course am not moving to America to marry Dillon. Cass obv got wrong end of stick as usual. Is just holiday.

WhatsApp message 5 Sept 10.33 a.m. To: Mum

No, Mum, I haven’t thought about what I’d say if he asked me because he isn’t going to ask me. Has only been 3 months.

WhatsApp message 5 Sept 10.34 a.m. To: Mum

No, Mum, am not worried that he won’t buy cow if getting milk for free.

WhatsApp message 5 Sept 10.35 a.m. To: Mum

Also, have to say that is pretty outdated view of relationships.

Not home yet no. Couple of slight issues on that front. Just wondering: do you know how easy it is to fly from USA to UK if you don’t have your passport?

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.18 a.m. To: Nora

That is one of slight issues. Dillon has my passport.

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.19 a.m. To: Nora

That is other slight issue. Don’t know where Dillon is.

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.20 a.m. To: Nora

Because our last night at hotel he bumped into some people he knew and we ended up at random party in Coconut Grove. Had a bit of a row so I left. Forgot he had passports on him.

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.21 a.m. To: Nora

Because he didn’t come back to the hotel and haven’t seen him since.

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.22 a.m. To: Nora

He isn’t answering his phone.

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.23 a.m. To: Nora

No, Nora. I haven’t forgotten about hurricane.

Thanks for messaging, Olly. Nora obviously keeping you in the loop. But can’t check into another hotel without passport.

WhatsApp message 9 Sept 11.29 a.m. To: Olly

Had already checked out of old one before realized Dillon AWOL. Also minimum room rate there is $800 per night. Also is now fully booked with terrified locals fleeing small houses in advance of hurricane.
