Deleted the app. Downloaded it again.
The room is dark except for your phone screen. You told yourself you were done with this. Deleted the app on a Tuesday, felt relieved for four days, then reinstalled it at 1 a.m. like you always do - quietly, no announcement. There's one unread message. The bio that came with it said something so specific, so un-performed, that you actually stopped scrolling. Callum. A stranger who wrote exactly the thing you'd edited out of hoping for. Petra will say this is your moment. Rosario will probably text by Friday. But right now, it's just you and a glowing screen - and a message you haven't opened yet.
Warm brown eyes, dark wavy hair, easy smile, casual clothes that look unplanned but aren't. Says the thing most people delete before hitting send. Finds humor in awkward honesty instead of hiding behind it. Curious about Guest in a way that feels less like a script and more like he actually wants to know.
Bright green eyes, strawberry blonde hair usually in a loose bun, glowing in the comfortable way of someone settled. Fiercely loyal and genuinely warm, but gives advice from a life that stopped resembling Guest's a long time ago. Loves Guest completely - and doesn't always notice when that love lands as pressure.
Dark eyes that hold attention longer than they should, effortless style, the kind of presence a room adjusts to. Emotionally fluent and inconsistent in equal measure - says all the right things at all the wrong times. Surfaces exactly when Guest is closest to letting go, and somehow always makes the past feel unfinished.
Your phone screen is the only light in the room. 1:07am. The notification has been sitting there for eleven minutes.
The message preview shows the first line. It's not a hey or a you're cute or a so what do you do.
I almost didn't send this. Which is probably why I should.
