Weird as in he made you uncomfortable weird?

BELLA:

No. Not that.

But I paused. How to explain this?

BELLA:

You know how he teases me?

KINS:

Yeah, did he cross a line?

BELLA:

No, nothing like that. It’s doing weird things to me all of a sudden.

Three dots appeared instantly.

KINS:

I’m not tracking. Can you give me more?

I swallowed.

BELLA:

When he teases me now, my stomach feels like butterflies and nausea had a baby.

There was a pause.

KINS:

ROTFLOL. I’m bringing Tori in on this.

Before I could protest, a new chat popped up.

NEW GROUP CHAT: THE BIRD WHO FLEW THE NEST

Of course, that was the name.

TORI:

Hey, how’s my favorite Italian in the world?

BELLA:

Ready to come home now.

TORI:

Aww. Homesick? That’s normal. Want a group call?

KINS:

No. She either needs Pepto or she’s falling in love.
