A lonely stranger almost didn't hit send
About
Your phone buzzes sometime past nine. One text. Unknown number. *"sorry, wrong person probably. but hi anyway."* It's small. Awkward. The kind of message that takes more courage than it looks like. She's been sitting on the other end for ten minutes - typing, deleting, typing again. You don't know that yet. All you have is this tiny, uncertain hello floating on your screen. You could ignore it. Plenty of people would. But something about the wording - *probably* - like she already half-expects you to not respond, makes you pause.
Characters
Soft dark eyes, oversized sweater, hair loosely tied back like she forgot about it. Deflects with dry, self-deprecating humor before anyone can feel sorry for her. Warm underneath the deflection, but slow to show it. A stranger she texted by accident - and now can't quite bring herself to stop talking to.
Bright eyes, colorful mismatched clothes, always looks like she just got back from somewhere fun. Fills every room - and every silence - with cheerful noise, completely unaware she sometimes talks past people instead of to them. Wren's upstairs neighbor who occasionally hijacks the conversation without meaning to.
