‘I can’t wait to see him again, he’s the one my heart aches for the most because I was really mourning what could have been when I left, it got cut short… five minutes later I go home,’ she said. 

‘He deserves the absolute world and I’m sad I couldn’t give that to him out there but we’ll see what happens on the outside.’

Emily said they promised each other little date days in their home cities for when they’re back out in the real world, with Emily based in Melbourne and Taku in Sydney’s Wollongong.
