Me: I think you've lost your mind.
Miller: I think you're right.
I scoot back onto my bed, resting against my pillows and pull my knees to my chest.
Me: What're you up to?
I shouldn't ask him such a personal question, but the line between our boundaries is a tad blurred considering he hired someone to cover up a murder I committed.
Miller: Boring work stuff. What about you?
Me: Why do I have a feeling nothing about what you do for a living is boring?
Miller: You'd be surprised.
Me: Try me.
Dots appear, then disappear, then appear again. I hate how anxious I am about the delay in his response. It almost feels...desperate, and I don't like it.
We're just friends, having a friendly conversation. Chill, Cora.
The same friend who somehow knew my legal name, where I lived, and now that I think about it...I never gave him my phone number. Maybe June did, or Simon. But that would mean he asked them for it, and I don't see that happening, either.
Wait, he must have gotten it from the team at The Wellerton. Duh. I'm designing his unit, that makes sense how he would have gotten it.
However, if my personal number is available to all the tenants, I'm going to have to have a talk with the company about personal boundaries.
Miller: There's been an issue...I can't really say much, but have you ever known someone was the problem, you just couldn't prove it was them?
I think about his question and ponder what the actual meaning behind it is. Who's causing him trouble? And why do I immediately want to solve the problem for him?
Me: What if you got them to reveal themselves?
Miller: And how could someone do that...asking for a friend, obviously.
Me: Obviously, lol
Me: Um, well, maybe tell them that you already know. Get them to admit it.
Me: Or, reverse psychology them and say they aren't capable ofXYZ and see if they tell on themselves.
Miller: Not a bad idea...
Me: See, I'm good for something.
Miller: I'm sure you're good for more than giving me advice on my vague situation.
Me: I mean, I'm a damn good designer.
Miller: *sends an eye-roll emoji*
Me: Did you really just type that instead of actually sending an eye-roll emoji?
Miller: Seemed easier than scrolling to find it.
Me: You're telling me it's not your most used emoji?
Miller: Guess which one it is.
