Original caption

I guess we’re rooting for #Norway now? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🇳🇴 And yes, this was also taken on our last day together before #BostonTommy flew back to #Scotland ☹️ and before we had any idea who’d still be playing in the #worldcup He’s still making me laugh from far away, but I definitely miss these silly moments together in person! #TommyandJill
