But if you just want to have a cup of tea and a little chat with a friend, then you’re always welcome.” Noel knew Elise wouldn’t budge no matter what, though he thought it was a shame. Jack was decently popular in the industry, but he needed a good song to establish himself. A celebrity built on hype
