i was so tired of beating myself up that i just let what happened tonight be. i was satisfied that i didn't cross any lines and the moment i arrived in my hotel room i collapsed onto the bed. i was truly exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster of the night, but right before i could doze off my phone buzzed with a text followed by a ring.
there was only one person i knew who tried to get a hold of people like she was about to tell them that the world was going to end, that was my mom.
"hey, mom," i answered, trying to sound more awake than i felt.
"hey, sweetheart. how are you?"
"i'm good, i'm about to settle into bed." i said as i saw a message come in from trenice.
"okay sweetie, i just wanted to remind you that we're having easter sunday dinner this weekend. even your sister will flying in from london, so we are expecting to see you!" she says, her voice was filled with warmth and excitement.
"of course, mom. i'm looking forward to it too. i'll be there," i assured her, feeling a pang of homesickness. my family always managed to make me feel grounded, no matter how chaotic my life got. i hung up the phone and finally opened trenice's message.

heyy skai sorry for texting super late |
dani asked me to relay a message to you asking if u can unblock her bc she said that u left something idk |
| uh sure thx for letting me know x
no problem |
curious about what i could have possibly left behind, i felt my bare wrist and sighed. i felt a mix of frustration and gratitude. my watch was a gift from my mom, and i was relieved it wasn't lost forever. but dealing with dani again so soon was the last thing i wanted.
i tossed my phone onto the bed, deciding to deal with it in the morning. i kicked off my shoes and slipped under the covers, my mind replaying the events of the night. the argument, the walk to the beach, and our moment—it was all too much.
i navigated to my blocked list and saw dani's name and felt sick, as i remembered the state of mind i was when i blocked her years ago. pressing unblock, i threw my phone away from me and i closed my eyes, hoping sleep would come quickly to erase the whirlwind of emotions swirling in my head.
i'll speak to the girl tomorrow.
when I woke up the next morning, sunlight streamed through the hotel curtains. i grabbed my phone, noticing a few missed calls and texts, but my attention was drawn to dani's message. i took a deep breath and typed out a response.
