When we get home, Payal and I agree to not tell Amma anything for the sakes of our sanity and hers. I make my way up to my room, locking the door behind me, and settle down in bed. I take my phone out and unlock it to see the text that Arnav had sent me.
Right, I didn't get a chance to respond. ...should I respond? It's been so long and- geez, I sound like Amma.
I grimace at the thought, then type up a response and send it.
K: I had a great time as well
K: Sorry for the late response, got sidetracked
I put my phone down and get up to change and wash up. Several minutes later, I'm all comfy in a velvet bandeau and bottoms, and sit back in bed. I grab the remote and turn on my TV, find something to watch, then pick up my phone. As I do, it vibrates and I see a text.
A: No worries 😊 nice car by the way
I can't help my smile.
K: Thanks! Not so bad yourself with that SUV
A: Haha had a little splurge tbh
K: Umm I wouldn't exactly say 'little' when it comes to that car
K: And if you customized it then definitely not
A: When you put it like that, you're right LOL
A: Did you have a good trip in town today?
Oh! ...Well I guess that was to be expected.
K: I did
K: Did you?
A: Yeah but it was a short one
A: I picked my mom and chachis up from their lunch date, then got them a bunch of mini cannolis from the bakery
Hmm....
K: They were with you? I didn't notice anyone
A: No, I dropped them off at some boutique they wanted to shop at, then quickly got the cannolis while they did
A: When they were done, we all went home to enjoy them, though they almost ate half of them in the car LOL
K: They're that good huh? I'm a little jealous LOL definitely gonna have to check em out
A: I'll get them for you the next time I see you
My eyebrows shoot up as I stare at the text.
Next time? I send a text back.
K: Next time?
A: Yes, next time
K: You're optimistic
A: I am
I look at my phone for a moment, when Arnav texts me again.
A: I have hope
K: Why? Hope is a dangerous thing
A: Because I do
A: And I don't mind a little danger
Oh?
K: Is that so 😏
