Until now.
That’s more than sufficient.

I have a question now.
Okay …
Starboy1997
What made you reach out to me?
My fingers hover over the keyboard, and I have to think of how to word the truth. It’s not like I’ve been a follower of his for months but saying it out loud sounds even crazier.
Truthfully, I found your profile the day I messaged you. I hadn’t been a follower before that, but I wish I’d found you sooner.
Starboy1997
Or maybe you found me at the perfect time.
I’m smiling as I heart his message, second-guessing it and wondering if I should do a thumb’s up instead when another text pops up below his last message.
Starboy1997
You overthinking? Don’t. I liked the heart.
Damn.
Caught me. Can I ask one more question?
Starboy1997
Go ahead.
How old are you? And what’s your first name?
Three dots appear and disappear several times, and I chew on my thumb as I wait for him to respond. Finally, he answers.
Starboy1997
To you, I am Master. I’m not opposed to giving you my real name, but it’s unique and would be easy to identify. As for my age… let’s say I’m older than 30 but younger than 35. ;)
My mind is spinning with the new information. Okay, so he’s not sixty, but he’s older than me by a few years. And a unique first name… hmm.
Thank you for telling me. I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t falling for someone who’s a grandpa.
Starboy1997
If we’re getting technical, a 35-year-old could feasibly be a grandpa.
I laugh out loud, startling Sparrow who is lounging on the couch a few feet away. Covering my mouth, I shake my head.
Fair enough.
Starboy1997
Sleep tight, Little Dancer.
