Bergy: I need to confess smth… this whole thing was my fault 

 

Stella🩷🎀: what do you mean? 

 

Bergy: it started because I thought I was a bad boyfriend to you… because I forgot our halfiversary 🙁 

Bergy: I told the boys you deserved to be treated like a princess so we kind of ended up collecting examples of princess treatment 

Bergy: mainly by watching Roz and Holly 

Bergy: but Troy caught on and I guess he must have given Harris the idea for the video 

Bergy: I’m sorry my angel 

 

Stella🩷🎀: ryry that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard 🥹
