during the high as hope tour, billie opened up gigs for florence + the machine (before she got massively huge, i think it was right on the cusp) so they definitely could have met that way for sure. she definitely would admire him. would you be interested in maybe unrequited crush feelings like, both of them were too scared to ever do anything - because she never wants to ruin yet someone else she cared for. and he maybe was like almost too overwhelmed with all the success and his own life too, so they never have been able to resolve anything yet, but there's always some sort of undercurrent of like but they have trouble resolving it. does that make sense?
