The grinding sound of the office printer starts as it prints the photos I've taken, along with their rightful captions. Fionn's few takes come out and I smile.

The caption below the photo:

Fionn. He was a stranger here, but now a friend. He drives a fast car, one I've ridden twice. He smokes three Marlboro cigarettes a day, but not on weekends because he sees his mom on those days. He introduced me to half•alive and I have yet to contact him about his playlist.
Wingston Park, September, 2018.

Friday

On Friday, I send him a text. I send a 'hey' and forget to say who I was. My phone buzzes on my night stand and I pick it up to read a text from him.

Fionn :)

Who's this?

Lola:

This is Lola, sorry.

Fionn :)

Have you texted for the playlist?

Lola

I did actually.

And to chat for a little, I think to myself. My phone buzzes a second later.

Fionn :)

There you go ;)
What have you been up to?

Lola

I printed some of my photos the other day and I'm almost finished. You?

Fionn :)

I'm in the library
Promise to show me once your done. I have every right.

Lola

You do! Haha. I promise.

A minute passes and there's no response. I click on the link he sent me to listen to his playlist. My eyes gaze on the familiar songs on the top of his list.
