"How many drinks have you had?" I text him?

"Like 8 margaritas lol," he replies back.

"Look, I gotta go to bed I'm getting tired," I reply back. It's true. I'm tired and can't keep my eyes open any longer.

"Wait, don't go."

"Fineee, but actually talk to me," our messages have been short so it feels like the conversation is dying.

"Why does it bother you? You know, the more intimate conversations," he asks.

"Because conversations like that lead to feelings."

"What if I want all of it? The intimacy, the feelings," he texts back. I'm shocked. What is this conversation leading to?

"You want to catch feelings?" I ask.

"Like I said, all of it. I want us to work out again, I loved you."

What? I'm at a loss of words. This whole time, he'a never moved on?
