Addie

Don’t be. I’m glad you messaged.

Liam

Yeah?

Addie

Yeah. And I’m sorry about the friend thing…

Addie

And even more sorry because I’m pretty sure I’m the cause of it.

It feels like an eternity before he responds, the three dots appearing and disappearing over and over.

Liam

Do you listen to music?

I lie back in bed, get comfortable on my pillow.

Addie

Who doesn’t?

Liam

What’s your favorite song?

I think for a moment.

Addie

Alaska by Maggie Rogers. The acoustic version. Why?

Liam

I figured friends should know these things about each other.

If I had no self-control, I’d be kicking my legs and silently squealing. Instead, I merely smile as I write:

Addie

What’s your favorite song, Liam?

Liam

Undecided right now. Favorite food?

Addie

Pizza.

Liam

What type?
