You awake yet?
No
You're up early! Excited for tonight?
No
Why are you being such a dick?
I'm answering your questions. How am I a dick?
What are you doing?
Breakfast then sending my kids to school?
Are you excited?
Of course
Nervous?
More excited
Still keeping it from the boys?
Yup. Marissa's setting up cameras to record though.
Sweet! What did you tell them?
I'll be doing something in the city.
They didn't ask for more?
They're boys. Boys don't usually pry. Do your girls know?
Nope. They'll be surprised just the same.
Praying I don't hear crickets tonight.
It's gonna be fine. This is HUGE!
It better be. You think it's a secret still?
It better be or Vince is gonna go berserk.
Poor you then.
Can't afford anymore crap today. Been feeling like shit since last night.
What happened?
Vomiting
Are you pregnant?
NO! WTH SHANE?!
WHAT?! I was just asking.
NO I'M NOT
Why are you defensive?!
Leave me alone.
You messaged me first.
And this is the last.

How are you?
In Declan's school
Why?!
Delivering a guitar he left this morning
What time will you be back?
Going back as soon as I drop this off
Message me when you get home so I can arrange the chopper.
Pete called.
Gasparino?
Yes
What did he say?
Asked what I'm doing now. I'm not sure if he's heard something.
What did you say?
I'm in Dec's school dropping off a guitar
And?
He didn't say anything else.
God this better not have leaked.
Don't stress about it
Just message me when you get home
February 22, 2016, 5:22 PM E.T.
Are you already in the chopper?
Already flying. Geez Steph relax
Travel safe and message me when you land
You seem obsessed with me when you saw me just 3 weeks ago.
Vince is on my case and I don't know why
Paranoid this might not go well?
Probably. Shouldn't be taking it out on me though
You'll get rewarded for it eventually
?
"The Vincent J. Mcmahon Legacy of Excellence Award"
Which I rightfully deserve
Damn, you no longer write yet you still get Creative to give you stuff
Hey, it's not me who's getting a Wrestlemania match just for showing up
Still seems surreal
7 years is waaaay too long to be gone Shane
Yeah

Have you landed?
Almost
Someone's gonna come get you and bring you to a bus
That sounds like kidnapping
Don't think anyone's interested to pay ransom for you. Do you need anything? You want food?
I'm fine
There's water and stuff in the bus. Just get whatever you want
Are you feeling better?
Light headed still but yeah.
You sure you can manage?
Wouldn't miss this for the world. You?
Nervous af now that I'm here. It's fucking real.
So excited! I gotta run now. Vince needs me.
February 22, 2016, 7:52 PM E.T.
8 minutes. You ready?
I might piss or shit in my pants
You're ready then. In Gorilla now just waiting.
Phone still allowed?

Welcome back, Shane O! Love you.
