“How did you know that’s what I look like right now?”
“Because I know you too.”
“Yeah, you really do, Jordan.” Her words are soft, and they do something to me. They give me hope—real hope—for a future together.
“Go to sleep, Mack. We’ll talk soon and remember—I’m coming to London in less than a month.”

“Goodnight, beautiful girl.”
