He sat on the bed and picked up the fully charged mobile phone. That was when he saw the message Sylvia sent him. The corners of his lips twitched, and his slender fingers began to tap rapidly against the display. “I haven’t read it yet.

Although it annoyed him at the time, it was very comforting compared to her now distant and uninterested tone. He suddenly felt a fit of irrational anger, so he ignored

Stop bothering me in the future!’ Shortly after that, it was he who picked up his phone to text Tara, “Are you asleep?” Tara, who happened to be shopping online at a luxury boutique at the time, replied instantly, “ Hey, I’m going to sleep soon. Why are you still awake?” “I’m dealing with something.” “It’s late. You should get some rest.” Odell replied, “Yeah, you get some rest too.” “Good night. See
