Me

Define weird.

Harper

I walked past your arena today at lunch. Didn’t even mean to. My feet just…took me there.

Me

And then what happened?

Harper

Nothing. Which somehow felt worse.

I stare at the screen, imagining her standing there alone, looking up at the building of glass and steel.

Me

I’m sorry I wasn’t there. I would’ve come down if I could.

Harper

I know. That’s kind of the problem.

Me

And why is that a problem? Are you okay?

Why do I suddenly feel guilty for not being there?

Harper

I just didn’t expect missing you to feel like this.

Oh.

There it is.

She misses me.

I exhale slowly, thumb hovering over my screen before I type out a reply.

Me

Yeah.

Harper

Can I ask you something totally random?

Me

Always, Harp. You know that.

Harper

Do you ever think about that night in college? Spring break?
