to your girlfriend?
after absolutely ignoring her messages
AND CALLS for 3 weeks?
while in quarantine

cole
i'm sorry
it's just been very busy

aurora
yeah but not too busy to read the messages

cole

like a worried girlfriend
like a caring girlfriend

cole
oh okay sure

aurora
it's actually a funny story
i accidentally put the wrong zoom code
so instead of ending up in French I met them

cole

instead of going to class

aurora
i missed one class
not that big of a deal

cole

because that's all we seem to do lately

cole
