The Grey in Between

Julie

I heard my phone beep from across the room. I put down my makeup brush and walked across my room to see who it was, knowing that there was a 75% chance it would be Braden. It was.

Hey babe :)

Hi, I responded back, going to go sit back at my vanity as he sent me another text.

Ready for tonight?

I looked at the clock, it was only four.

Almost, I typed back.

Okay, I'll pick you up in an hour :) <3

His use of emojis made me giggle. He just started figuring them out and uses them for the most mundane things, like when asking me how's my day. But it was cute, the way he used them like a 12 year old girl.

I returned to putting makeup on, excited for tonight.
