Cam 31- Stubborn and stunning

I hold out my hand for my phone so I can see what the hell Harry is going on about, but he holds it out of my reach.

“One sec. I’m trying to find my contact. Hah, I should have known I’d be down as number one.” He taps the phone again and a second later his own phone chimes. He glances at it with a satisfied smile then hands my phone back. My phone is open to the text conversation with him and he’s forwarded himself a photo from a different chat. I open the picture and find that

it is indeed a picture of Harry and I. Clearly taken yesterday while we were walking back from the grocery store. He’s carrying my bags and looks ridiculously photogenic despite the fact that he’s laughing. I’m even half smiling although I can’t place exactly what we were saying. This had to be taken by Simon. Why would he text me stalkerish photos? Is he trying to give me evidence to get a restraining order? I flick back and I’m surprised to see the photo was

sent by my mother.

Mum- Simon went to meet you for breakfast and instead of the positive update I expected he

Mum- That’s not the Incubus I heard about, is it? You know better than to associate with

Incubi.

Mum- Cam what are you thinking?!?

But I’m in my daggy clothes and I clearly need to run a brush through my hair. The only positive thing I can say is that my hair looks like a nice colour in the bright sunlight and at least I’m sort of smiling. Why would Harry send himself THIS photo. Surely we could just take a better one. Like where we’re actually put together and looking at the camera for example. Actually, no. that might go badly for me. If Harry puts in effort too I’m going to look dreadful in comparison. Ugh, I need to stop comparing myself
