I’m a night owl.

Katie

No news yet. But hopefully tomorrow.

Max

I’ll hold you to it.

Max

Shall we set a time for our call?

I stare at the screen.

Katie

Funny story.

Katie

Drew asked me to come back for day two.

The typing bubble appears almost instantly.

Max

That’s amazing.

Max

Also highly inconvenient for my selfish desire to monopolize your attention, mind you.

I laugh.

Katie

It means I’ll be tied up most of tomorrow. Reschedule for later this week?

Max

Deal. As long as we can text. I’d hate to go a whole day without hearing how you’re getting on.

I smile widely. Even an ocean away, he still finds ways to make it hard not to fall deeper for him.

Katie

Get some sleep, Max.

Max

You too, Keller.

Max

Good luck tomorrow.
