His Eagle Eyes on Me

Eric looked at Avery's response and felt as though he was standing at a crossroads.

Ever since he had rejected Layla, she had not contacted him, nor had he reached out to her.

They had rarely met in the past, but they had still occasionally talked to each other, texted each other, or commented on each other's social media posts.

In the present, they were further than strangers, and it felt terribly awkward.

Not wanting the awkwardness to continue, he considered the matter for a while, before sending Layla a message.

[Are you busy with work lately?]

Layla was responding to the comments to her post and immediately opened the message she received from Eric.

"Did he see my post?" she muttered.

[It's alright.] she replied, following it with another message, [When are you and your girlfriend getting married? I'm still waiting to be invited to your wedding!]

Eric was instantly rendered speechless.

[Are you two going to live in Bridgedale or Aryadelle after you get married?] Layla added.
