I smiled and then waited for him to disconnect. I sat for an hour in my room, knowing in my heart that Marcel would be there for me the minute I was ready. The freedom of that thought alone filled me with incredible peace.

Seeking Counsel Elsewhere

With their absence, I had too much time on my hands. An impish idea played in the corners of my mind, and I reached for my phone and captured a candid shot with a mischievous grin. Pulling up Tinder, I took a few seconds and made a profile. I sent the photo to Alek with a follow-up text.

KINSLEY:

What do you think of this photo?

REAPER:

I like it!

KINSLEY:

I’m torn between these two.

I sent him another one. The second one was sexier, as I lowered the lens and captured more of my body.

REAPER:

Damn, that second one.Wow.What’s it for?

KINSLEY:

This. I was bored today.

I sent him a screenshot of the Tinder profile.

REAPER:

WTF?

KINSLEY:

We’re not supposed to use that word, remember?

REAPER:

Your ass is in so much trouble. Delete it now.

KINSLEY:

Truth or dare, Reaper?

REAPER:

Now you want to play games? I’m serious.

KINSLEY:

Me too, Reaper. Now pick. T/D?
