HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE
My steps slow down.
Why would he be calling me? Did he forget something? It’s been more than two weeks since our last encounter, and since then, he has been… surprisingly consistent. Sweet, even. He texts me every night to check up on me simple messages, nothing overwhelming. Just a “Hope work wasn’t too stressful” or “Did you eat?” kind of vibe.
But he never calls.
“Hello,” I say, answering the call.
“I was beginning to think you weren’t going to pick up with how long the phone rang,” he says.
