hey

I’m here

what’s going on?

oh good

you ARE alive

do I need a reason to text?

besides missing my gf?

of course not

it’s just

I feel like I never see you anymore

and even when I do

you’re always on your laptop

or your phone

I know

sorry

and you won’t tell me

what’s going on

nothing’s going on

it’s like you’re dating your devices

Oh god

Are you cheating on me?

Is that what’s happening?

???

I’m not cheating on you

I promise

it’ll all be worth it when I’m done

trust me

Ruby?
