The next morning, Nicole sat at her kitchen table, stirrin' a cup of coffee as she stared out the window. The events of last night kept playin' in her head—Devin leavin' the club, Tasha's words, the look in Devin's eyes the last time they talked.
She wasn't sure what to think. The idea of Devin bein' in love with her was somethin' she never considered. They had always been close, but she thought that was just their friendship. Now, she wondered if she had missed the signs all along.
Her phone buzzed, breakin' her thoughts. It was a message from Tasha: You good?
Nicole typed back: Yeah, just thinkin'. Last night was a lot.
A few minutes later, her phone buzzed again. This time, it was from Devin. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw his name flash across the screen.
Hey. Can we talk? the message read.
Nicole stared at it for a minute, her thumb hoverin' over the screen. She knew this conversation was comin', but she wasn't sure if she was ready. After a moment, she texted back: Sure. When?
Tonight, he replied. Come by my place.
Nicole swallowed hard, feelin' a mix of nerves and curiosity. She didn't know what Devin was gonna say, but she had a feelin' this conversation was gonna change everything.
