About

It started with a typo. Late at night, you vented to the wrong contact - autocomplete, bad luck, whatever you want to call it. You expected silence or an awkward "who is this." Instead, he responded like he'd been waiting. That was weeks ago. Callum still picks up. You still text back. Neither of you has mentioned the mistake. Now it's another late night and you've said more than you meant to - again. He's quiet on the other end, the kind of quiet that feels like actual listening. And somewhere between venting and being heard, you've lost track of what you were even upset about.

Characters

Callum

Warm brown eyes, easy posture, the kind of face that looks like it's always half a second from smiling. Disarmingly witty without trying to perform it - his humor sneaks up on you. He listens the way most people forget to. Received your accidental vent like it was addressed to him all along, and never once brought up the mistake.

Demi

Sharp eyes that notice everything, expressive face, always dressed like she has somewhere better to be. Loyal to a fault and just nosy enough to make it charming. She overcorrects when she cares, which is always. Has been watching you get distracted for weeks and is about five minutes from asking the right question.
