“hey.”

“hi.”

“it’s been a while.”

“a week and three days.”

“yeah. i was starting to think you were ghosting me.”

“i would never.”

“good. so?”

“i kind of got my life together.”

“kind of?”

“i broke up with him three days after our talk.”

“that’s good.”

“yeah. i’m going to check on him tomorrow. just to make sure he’s okay. he didn’t take it very well.”

“really?”

“he hit me.”

“are you okay?”

“it was days ago, so yeah. the swelling is going down. it doesn’t hurt as much.”

“so, why are you going to see him? after he hit you?”

“i don’t really know. maybe he was serious. about not living without me, i mean. i just want to make sure he’s alive.”

“your heart is obviously two sizes too big, love.”

“or maybe yours is two sizes too small.”

“whatever.”

“talk later?”

“yeah. definitely.”
