I read the text in Nash’s voice for the first time. His actual vocal cords vibratingvoice. It’s honestly wild.

You cold emailed Ariel Goldberg’s publicist! And weren’t ignored! You’re a total badass.

This is who Nash is expecting to meet. The girl who cold emails publicists. Abadass.

like bookcon is going to be interested in aesthetically pleasing cupcake photos.

I migrate from the bathroom to the bedroom as I try to message Nash and pretend everything is normal, that I don’t know the exact color of his eyes or the sound of his voice. I settle on the most generic of generic messages.

what’s up with you?

6:57 PM

Not much. Some new kids moved into town. A sister and brother. The girl’s our age, I think. I met her at the library.

6:59 PM

She’s me.Two words have never been more impossible to type.
