I was in the middle of sending a text when my phone screen grew dark. Of course it had to die now.
I look up briefly. The bustle all around forces me to shuffle aside as people push past. I spot Val in the crowd and half walk toward her. She stands uncertainly in the mass of people around us, wearing a really big sweater that has sleeves reaching almost to her knees. I ran the rest of the way to her and throw my arms around her. "Irene!" She cries. "I missed you!" I pull her into a long kiss. (NOTE THIS IS A LGBTQ+ LOVE STORY SO HATERS GET OUT)
note: that's all i have right now
