Ignoring the wet spot on rab for my phone

Alexander: Gwen, is everything okay?

Of course, he auto After all, why else would I be nore, hurts that he apparently wasn’t glad to hear from me

Feeling like an idiot for taking advantage of his offer to contact hi, I shoot off a quick reply

Me: No, nothing’s wrong I just wanted to say hi

I hit Send, then regret it when I realize the es soh he’s not here to witness it, I still feel my face burn

My phone vibrates again, and I glance down

Alexander: How are you doing?

Okay, so ht If he was, he wouldn’t encourage conversation, right? Or is it si so unsure

Me: I’ood

Alexander: And the kids?

I smile, touched that he asked after them

Me: They are both good too

I set my phone down, then pick it back up

Me: How have you been?
