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.
