Lili:It’s late and you’re probably asleep but I’ve been reading all night and I think I found something.
I let out a deep breath and put my phone face down on the table preparing myself for a long night of obsessing over my discovery with no one to talk to about it.
But then my phone dings.
Wren:I’m awake.
Warmth tingles over my body.
Lili:I feel like I woke you up.
Wren:You didn’t.
Lili:Don’t you have to get up super early to open the museum?
Wren:Yes.
Lili:Then why aren’t you asleep?
Wren:Because I’m not. What did you find? Something to explain why your dad was so obsessed with the number 43?
I hesitate before responding. I did not think this through. Where do I even start?
Lili:I feel like I need to show you in person.
Wren:I’m not coming back over to your house this late.
Lili:I didn’t mean that.
Wren:So you texted me to tell me something you can’t tell me?
Lili:No, I just got excited so I texted you.
He’s the one who doesn’t respond right away.
Lili:Are you still there?
Wren:Yes.
Lili:I should have just waited until tomorrow.
Wren:It’s fine. Come in early tomorrow before we open. 6:30 am. Show me then.
Lili:Really? That would be great.
Lili:Just wait. You’ll be the one hugging me tomorrow.
Wren:I doubt that.
Lili:So did you have my number saved in your phone?
Wren:Yes.
Lili:Under what name?
Wren:Why does it matter?
Lili:I’m just curious if I’ve been promoted from tourist girl yet.
