So Europe beckoned once more

She said, “I’ve just coo”

Jax was in a shitty mood He tried to hide it as Greta told hined early She was still in her suite, packing But she’d definitely quit

At first, Jax thought it was for the best So that she’d follow through on her plans

Then he’d thought it was all wrong There was another answer entirely

Probleretted it when he’d done it He regretted it now And Lex wasn’t too pleased, either, though he’d also agreed it was the right thing to do

Also incredibly hard Because in the long run, losing Lily was the absolute last thing they wanted

But all Jax had been able to think about that night was how selfish it’d be to ask her to stay

What would staying entail, anyway, once he and Lex were in New York, recording, and then on tour? They were going to ask her to wait around from them? For a year or two?

No That would be unfair

So let her go to Europe

But that hadn’t sat right with hi the need now to take the bull by the horns

He told Lex, “We know exactly what she wants So why the hell aren’t we giving it to her? She’s given us exactly e needed It’s our turn to repay the favor”

“You clearly have so in mind”

“She wants Paris We’ll give her Paris She wants all of Europe We’ll give her all of Europe”
