I roll my eyes.

Me

Tracking me?

My Ex

With your permission.

I waffle with my response. If I’m honest, I like that he cares.

My Ex

It’s important. If you need something, call me.

My Ex

Trust your instincts.

Me

I always do.

My Ex

I still love you, you know…

I type out a warning message…We’re taking things slow, remember?But then delete before hitting send. Instead, I highlight his message and hit the heart key.

I don’t know what I’m doing.

I text Sophia to check in with her.

Me

Homeward bound. Luke???

SF

He requested the assignment.

SF

Insisted.

Me

The assignment? I wasn’t in danger. I could’ve gotten myself to the airport. You knew that.

SF

Have you taken off yet?

I snap a photo of the snowy mountains through the airplane window and send it to her.

SF

We needed to get you out of the compound. We’ve triangulated too many communications with his IP address.
