Jeremy

Yeah, that was pretty bad.

So is she back?

Me

Her plane just landed.

Ben

You don’t seem happy about that.

Asher

Oh, he’s happy alright. And he’s also freaked the fuck out.

Jordan

Oh yeah, the big love declaration in written form!

Telling her you love her in a note you gave her to read on the plane? That’s gutsy, dude.

Me

Tell me something I don’t know. I’m losing my damn mind.

I should have waited. Told her in person. Then I could see her eyes. Her face. Know what she was thinking. Six months ago me thought I was Jane Austin or something. Six months ago me was an idiot.

What if she doesn’t say it back, and then I’m just a guy, standing in an airport, regretting every choice I’ve ever made.

Jeremy

Holy shit, I’ve never seen you so unglued.

Me

This is a text chain. You literally cannot see me.

Jeremy

Yeah, but I can feel your angst through the phone. It’s a brother thing.

In love Brian in a sight to behold.

Asher

Well, you may be nervous, but I think it’s romantic as fuck. Professing your love in writing and giving it to her six months ago, to read today? I die. It’s the best.

Ben

It really is. It’s the grand gesture to end all grand gestures.

Me

Only if it works.
