After a rough day, I ended up sleeping in pretty late.
Right as my eyes cracked open, my phone buzzed. I reached for it and squinted at the screen.
It was a message from Kyle Bell—someone I hadn’t heard from in forever.
Since he moved out of the U.S., we barely talked. What brought this out of the blue?
[Kyle: So.]
[Kyle: Heard you found your mate?]
Staring at the message, I lazily typed back: [Yeah. Why?]
[Kyle: Nothing much. Just think you should change your number ASAP.]
Kyle never really talks this much, so this message had Jackson written all over it. No doubt in my mind he sent it because of something Jackson did.
I paused for a few seconds, then sent: [I was already planning on it.]
Kyle didn’t reply. I hesitated a bit, then added: [Thanks.]
I wait
