Little Runner
Why am I getting the sense that you always get your way?
Me
I learned a long time ago that I have to push for the things I believe are right.
Little Runner
To survive?
I hesitated, tongue stroking my lip before I tapped out a response.
Me
Yeah. You have to fight to make your way through this world, whatever that looks like. No matter how ugly it might be.
Me
That counts as one for you.
You know, since she managed to get under my skin and make me reveal another piece that I was an idiot to give her. My crew would have my ass if they knew the way I was getting sucked under.
Little Runner
Not fair. You tricked me into that one.
Me
You’re the one who asked.
She sent me a slew of pouty face emojis, and I rumbled a chuckle as I typed out a response.
Me
Going to sign off. Know you need to get ready for work, and I’m going to need to feed my little dude. He’ll be up any minute.
It took a second for her text to blip through.
Little Runner
Give him a kiss for me?
Me
Yeah, as long as you’re sending along one for me, too.
I was surprised when a response came right through.
Little Runner
Kisses like this feel a whole lot safer.
My heart stalled out for a beat before I let my fingers fly across the screen.
Me
Because you’re afraid of me?
