Seth:Maybe
Seth:That a problem
Her response was instant.
Claire:Hell no
Someone was toey tonight.
Seth:What you doing up so late?
It was already after midnight.
Claire:Just finished work
Seth:You enjoying it?
Claire:I guess
Seth:You working tomorrow?
Claire:Day off!!!
Seth:Any plans?
I found myself holding my breath and crossing my fingers. If Claire had the day off maybe we could hang out. Do something. Get out of my head for a while.
Claire:Busy
That was kinda rude and unexpected. Feeling myself deflate, I sunk back against the pile of pillows and squeezed my eyes closed. Maybe I’d pinned my hopes on the wrong girl. It was something I’d do and exactly what Mum warned me about. She’d told me time and time again that the first girl I thought was the one may not be. I thought I was being cautious, doing the right thing, playing it safe, but judging by the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, I wasn’t doing a great job.
I must’ve taken too long to reply.
Claire:Busy doing you
