I was near sleep in front of my computer when the text arrived.
HI
I waited for a few moments. Happy…pissed…a lot of things at the same time.
I answered her text with simply: HI
ARE YOU GOING TO IGNORE ME LIKE YOUR OTHER EXES??
YOU’RE NOT AN EX, I sent back. CAN’T BE AN EX IF WE WEREN’T THERE FIRST.
Pause.
I could feel her evaluating that. I was starting to feel like shit and on the verge of messing up (again).
I MISSED YOU. I sent that. Almost regretted I did. Ego was screaming at me inside but it could go fuck itself.
I’M OUTSIDE, she answered.
I got up and looked out the window. She was leaning against her car.
She smiled at me.
