hi! Welcome to act 1 of 'paris'! I hope you'll stay for the rest of the book because let me tell you, although the process of writing this is a bit slower than I'd like at the moment, I'm really enjoying the plot and coming up with ideas for it so I'm hoping you'll love it as much as I do.

Obviously, Jack is now a Man City player, you probably heard me crying about it but, for the purpose of this story, he's still a Villa player.

I said I'd update at least twice a week and it's been three weeks since I last updated but I'm trying to hold myself more accountable now. First chapter up later this week?

How have you been? How's your team doing in the transfer window?
- shit. We've signed four players, one doesn't come in until January and one of them is only twenty so one for the future but we still need a centre back and a couple extras bc we're light in numbers.

Enjoy and stay safe!

Lots of love, e x
