Will post on Monday, but here’s a sneak peek.

I can see that a few photos have come through

but I won’t be able to open them fully

until I’m home and have my actual phone.

But more importantly:

Lyric is texting me.

We have each other’s numbers

after exchanging them

under the tree last night.

In case I need your services again,

Lyric said all businesslike.

Thanks! How’s your day going?

I send a voice to text before I lose my nerve.

I’m out on a run. Really beautiful day.

Chill out, Juniper, I mumble

as I climb into Chloe

to warm the engine.

Lyric:Headed to work

so you know, fine I guess.

You’re on some other level

being out in this cold.

Me:It’s not that bad, once you warm up.

Where do you work?

I bite my lip.

I’m going to lose her any minute

but I want to know

just as many things as she will tell me

about her life.

Lyric:Aldi

on Saginaw.
