Cooper: It’s basically afternoon
Mae: It’s 9 am
Cooper: Been up for about four hours
Mae: That sucks
The little bubbles pop up and disappear like she’s typing and then deleting what she said.
Mae: Why are you thinking about me?
Cooper: You take up quite a bit of space in my mind in general, and I was thinking about the next date I take you on.
Cooper: And I miss your lips.
Mae: That’s a lot of thoughts for 9 am.
I chuckle and start typing again.
Cooper: So that means you want to go on another date with me?
Mae: We’ve had two already
Cooper: That’s not an answer, stubborn
Mae: You are so annoying. Yes, I will go out on another date with you.
Mae: Is that clear enough?
Cooper: Damn, I love that attitude
Mae: *eye roll emoji*
Cooper: I’ll text you later with the details, but it might be a week or so, I hope that’s okay.
Mae: Is everything okay?
Cooper: I don’t know.
Mae: Is Naomi okay?
I smile at that. Her first thought was to make sure my daughter was safe.
Cooper: Yes, she’s fine. It’s the other stuff.
Mae: The other stuff you’re not ready to tell me, that has to do with Naomi?
Cooper: yep
Mae: Will you tell me one day?
I stare at her question as all the what if’s run through my head?
Cooper: yes
The bubbles pop up and disappear, then a link to a song comes through.Every Rose Needs a Jackby Gabby Barrett.
Mae: I don’t just listen to the 80s, but I heard green eyes and thought of you …
