Keaton’s text comes in the late morning. The geographic tag puts him in Uzbekistan, where he couldn’t have gotten to in the last few hours. He’s cloaking his whereabouts.

There’s a guy you can depend on.

I sit at my desk with a deep feeling of sadness. My life hasn’t changed one bit from even twelve hours before. But I’ve changed. I’ve gotten stupid.

His text weighs on me. Every sip of coffee, every answered email, every time a bird chirps outside, I’m aware of the minutes that pass without me responding.

I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what he intends. I’m afraid that if I answer him, I’ll discover another facet to him and I won’t have a choice but to see if that’s the last level of complexity to Keaton Bridge.

I want him. I know that. I don’t know how to want him. I don’t know how to let myself make it possible.

I write down the letters and numbers he made me memorize. I try a few things that fail, but after that, I don’t know what to do with them, and to be honest, if I did know, nothing would change. Once I use whatever information he gives me, he’s an asset and I’m cutting off the possibility of a relationship. There would be paperwork and questions. Until then, he exists in the netherworld between a problematic tryst and an ethical lapse.
