The snags of dating an introvert

Yuzuru was sitting on the bench, checking his phone for a morning text from Anya before he would go on the ice, but as usual, there was none. He knew she found those texts absolutely useless, having no informational value but he still hoped she would send some. He went on google and decided to try something to make texting more interesting for her.

Yuzuru
7:04
-Morning!
-Odd number. Take away a letter and it becomes even. What number is it?

Anya
7:05
-Seven!

Yuzuru chuckled seeing how quickly she responded to his text.

Anya
7:06
-Send me more!
-And good morning....

He smiled even more, happy he got her attention, and went on google again.

Yuzuru
7:08
-What 4-letter word can be written forward, backward, or upside down, and can still be read from left to right?

He waited a minute for a reply but none came, instead, Tracy tapped his shoulder and pointed at the ice where Javi was already doing their morning stroking exercise, silently asking him to join the practice.

Anya was on her way to a store to pick up some empty boxes for packing her books and staring at the last message. 4-letter word.....same forward and backward....that's easy....but upside down as well? What the hell?!
She raised her head and registered she already passed the store and turned around again, swearing under her breath.
When she got to the cashier, with several packages of foldable boxes, tapes, and markers, she was still lost in her own world.

-That would be 54.99$

-NOON!!

-Excuse me?

-Sorry....will pay by card, please.

As soon as she was out, she texted the answer to Yuzuru, annoyed that it took her so long to figure it out.

Yuzuru was skating around, doing his usual stretching, and basic skating, hypnotizing his phone in his peripheral vision, to see if it lights up. Once it did, he immediately skated to it with a wide smile.

Anya
7:42
-It's NOON
-Do you have any more? I absolutely love it.

Yuzuru
7:43
-Pfft...glad to see you 'LOVE'....THAT....
-You will get one for each morning text you send me.

Anya
7:43
😑

Yuzuru laughed and went back to his practice.

Anya looked around her room, seeing how many books she had. There was one small closet with clothes and the rest just books and papers scattered over the room.
She sighed, sat down on the floor, and started to fold the boxes. Once done, she got up, looked around the room again, then back at the boxes, and rather went to her laptop continuing to finish her final paper.
An hour later, she heard the main door slam, and suddenly Rachel was standing in her room, lightings in her eyes.

-It was you, wasn't it?

-What do you mean?

-Don't play stupid, nobody else would have the access or means....

-Rachel, I have no idea what you are talking about. But if it makes you happy, I am actually moving. You can have Ella here instead of me. I found another temporary flat, it's free by the end of next week.
