Mac

The game was good.

Is it okay that I’m messaging you? I want to honor your request for space, but I hope it’s alright for me to check in.

Fee

It's okay. Thanks for checking on me.

Mac

Can we video chat?

This time it takes longer for her to reply, the dots appearing and disappearing a few times before a message finally pops up.

Fee

I’m at my sister’s and I’m currently snuggling with my niece.

Mac

Want me to message you later?

Fee

I can thumb-type one-handed like a pro.

I switch gears, since pouring my heart out seems like something I’d rather do face-to-face.

Mac

How are you feeling about the art show this week?

Fee

Excited. Nervous. It's been cool merging my styles. Plus, it’s different when it’s in a gallery surrounded by other amazing art, and not just a random poster in a hallway. So yeah, a little scared, but mostly good feelings about it.

Fee posted on her secret account that she’ll be at an art show on campus for anyone who wanted to come out and support her. It flooded with comments from fans.

Mac

People are really excited to meet you in person. So many amazing opportunities are headed your way.

Fee

This feels better than the space I’ve given her, and I can’t fix it if we don’t talk, so I take the risk.

Mac

Can I see you when I get home? So we can talk?

There’s another long pause and I resist the urge to spill my guts with my fingers.

Fee

After my art show? I want to be clearheaded and not a bag of nerves.

My stomach sinks, but I’ll take a win where I can. She said yes, even if I have to wait a few days.
