Chapter Eighteen

Adam walked into his house just before sunrise. Sara’s scent still lingered throughout. It was comforting to smell her. He wished she was still here. The place had finally felt like a home when she was inside of it. After so many months living alone, he now realized how missing the feeling of companionship was eating him alive. The house’s emptiness now seemed magnified.

He checked his phone on the way to the living room. It was going to be a long day. The night and morning kept replaying through his mind. He definitely wasn’t ready to go to sleep just yet. Opening the Facebook app he clicked Sara’s name under recent searches. Waffling for a moment he decided to go for it and just clicked, friend . He questioned his decision immediately.

Shit.

Whatever. I’m not going to try to play any games. I want her to know I’m in.

Adam stretched out on the sofa and got comfortable. His phone chimed a notification.

That was quick.

Sara had confirmed their online friendship. Adam switched over to messenger and wrote. “I figured a night together was enough connection to friend you on social media. I just wanted to say that I had an amazing night with you.”

He paused to think. He didn’t want to say the wrong thing. He wanted to be charming, to lay the groundwork for continuing their relationship.

“I’ve never met anyone that I’ve laughed so much with.” He decided short and sweet was the way to go. He ended the message with an emoji heart and clicked send.

Messenger beeped. She’d seen it.

He held his breath waiting. Every second felt like a minute. Would it be a dismissive response? Does she regret inviting him to Christmas? Self-doubt was rearing its ugly head.

What am I, sixteen? Why am I so fucking nervous?

Because yeah... so what, you showed her a good time and that’s all she was looking for. She’d never consider a serious relationship with a twenty-four-year-old. He grappled with himself as he waited for her to finish typing.

I’m not twenty-four! Adam yelled in his head.

The dots moved letting him know she was writing back.
