Me too. Truth is … I needed this too. It wasn’t the easiest day on my end either.

TheWriteGuy

Want to talk about it?

ReadToLiv

Not really. But … thanks for asking. Not many people do.

I stared at that line until the screen dimmed.Not many people do. My jaw clenched at the thought, surprising me with how much it mattered.

TheWriteGuy

Even if you don’t feel like talking, I’m here.

Another pause and then more bubbles.

ReadToLiv

Careful. Keep saying stuff like that and I might start expecting you to mean it.

TheWriteGuy

Her typing bubbles lingered, disappearing and returning, like she was weighing her words.

ReadToLiv

… You’re trouble, you know that?

TheWriteGuy

Trouble how?

ReadToLiv

I laughed under my breath, the knot in mystomach easing.

TheWriteGuy

Don’t worry. You can roll your eyes and still admit I’m your favorite part of the day.

ReadToLiv

TheWriteGuy

Accurate assumption.

ReadToLiv
