Image Description:

I click out of the video, and as Eliot returns with a giggling, overly handsy Gemma, all I can think about is RJ.

I’m left alone again.

I smear a hand down my face. “Don’t do it,” I tell myself. “Don’t do it.” I’m cringing as I slide through my contacts and land on RJ.

I don’t even know his full name. I could ask our bodyguards. Security definitely ID’d him. I should ask RJ myself, but the one time I tried, he just kissed me instead.

We're here with another WIP Snippet for November as a thank you for your patience on all the big content this month! The Monthly Podcast will be dropping later today, as well as the Fizz Hangout. Extra Bonus will be here tomorrow, and you can also expect the Suggestion Box tomorrow to suggest topics for December's Monthly Pod. Lots on the horizon as November wraps up, so keep on the lookout!

P.S. This snippet takes place in Chapter One. Normally we don't give context, but since RJ is not the love interest but definitely a part of Tom's history, we want to let you all know where this falls within the novel.

xoxo Krista & Becca

millie (coballoway's version)

Oh, Tom. You have no idea what awaits you (🙂‍↔️). ~~ 🤎🤎

Kat

Still sad RJ isn’t endgame 😭

Izzy

Rj my beloved🥹

Hayat

Rurik my baby 😭❤️‍🩹

Hayat

Krista and Becca created a monster when they mentioned a kotova second gen cause wow I literally can’t stop thinking about it 😭

Brianna 👽

I’m so excited to see more RJ and hopefully more Kotovas!! I hope we see Roxanne as well. I’m curious if Charlie knows that Tom’s booty call is cousins w the ballerina he’s interested in lol

Hayat

We know Tom knows Rurik has a cousin at the NYCB, whether or not he knows it’s Roxanne specifically is a little more up in the air! Oscar was able to figure it out before Rurik confirmed it but also Oscar is one of the most attentive bodyguards so who knows!

C

Don't get me wrong I love the idea of TomPhoenix, but whenever Rj (or any other Kotova) is mentioned I feel soooo happy. Anyway wondering why my guy Rurik is hiding his full name 👀

Assunta

Omg!!!! Wish it was August already!

cece 🪩

Literally!! It’s all I can think about tbh

Marie

getting snippets?! already?! we are blessed ♥️

Amelia

ahhh very excited for more RJ🥹

Jess

This made me smile SO big

millie (coballoway's version)

oh yeah, I totally forgot Tom already knows that much. the fact he doesn't know RJ's full name does make me think he probably doesn't know exactly who his cousin is tho (not that she would be that relevant in Tom's mind anyway (no offense Roxy ily 🩷)) but I hope they all find out in SS if they don't know already 🤞 (especially if it means we get more Roxy content!!)

Hayat

Plus Roxanne and Rurik don’t share a last name so unless you know the whole Russian thing/any more context clues it might be harder for someone to piece together but who knows!

Melanie Daumieres

LISTEN i'm dying to see Phoenix getting so jealous over this. he's gonna hate that so muchhhhh hfeuiefhefzuhfezf he gives off the "he's mine" vibe 😍

Melanie Daumieres

and my baby is not going to be alone for too long. something good awaits you 😭

AJ

Weird way to spell Winnifred

Jared Povanda

It seems like RJ is an unhealthy coping mechanism for Tom? Like Tom is hurting himself when he contacts RJ. RJ is also not telling Tom about himself; he's not letting Tom in, for whatever reason. I'm not sure if their relationship is as angsty as I'm thinking it might be, but I'd love it if Tom and RJ actually became good friends by the end of Tom's book. I'd love for Tom to have someone (outside of his family, even outside of Phoenix) to boost him up.

Ellen

The ending as good friends part is a great idea! We need more kotovas in our lives

Jared Povanda

Yes! More Kotovas is always a good thing! I miss them so much

N

SAME! Do we know if RJ is going to have a bigger role in SS bc I NEED more of him (and Roxanne ofc)
