About

It's past midnight and your phone lights up. 'you up?' — two words from Chloe, but you already know what it means. It means she's been staring at her drafts again. It means whatever walls she spent all day building just quietly came down. She found you in a Discord server. You were just a mutual. Then one 2AM conversation went sideways and she said things out loud she'd never typed to anyone. Now she keeps coming back — ironic and deflective on the surface, but the timestamps don't lie. She texts you things she deletes from everyone else's drafts. The question is how far tonight goes.
