It was Christmas now, so I texted Steve to wish him.

I didn't bother wishing Dew as she had been distant since our last hangout.

I quickly opened the app Steve suggested after wishing everyone to see the letters.

Carolyn

Best thing ever! *flops on bed*

_____________________________

Steve and I would often talk over text.

In the writer's group chat, sometimes giving private messages.

We were mostly formal always unless I was sick and he knew.

As I was sick and menstruating I decided to not go out this time, that's when Steve's reply came.

Steve

"I'm good, wbu?"

Carolyn

"dead"

Steve

"What happened"

Carolyn

"Fever and menstruation"

Steve

"Have painkillers"

Carolyn

"They don't work for me"

Steve

"oh"

Steve

"rip"

Carolyn

"If only I could"

Steve

"lol, so not coming today?"

Carolyn

"Y'all are there?"

Steve

"I don't know"

Carolyn

"oh, so you didn't go"

Steve

"Yeah, in bed?"

Carolyn

"Yes"

Steve

"Good"

I opened our group chat and read the recent texts. It seemed like Dew was arguing with Steve because she was jealous of someone.

Steve texted me again.

Steve

"Can you help me with something?"

Carolyn

"Sure?"

He moved closer and cupped my face.

Carolyn

"?"

Steve

"sorry"

He moved back.

I moved back not knowing what to say getting another apology from him.

We didn't talk much after that as I decided to sleep.
