“You’re what?! Nicky, I’m going to kill you!”

I glance over to my computer screen. “That’s a bit of an overreaction, don’t you think Reese?”

“It is not! You know I’ve been dying to get a snap of that view! And now you’re going without me and I kind of hate you. Wait. Who’s taking you? I know for a fact that your mother would rather go talk to those, and I quote, ‘leftist nutjobs’ at CNN than hike for an entire afternoon.”

“Tommy is taking me.”

“Tommy? Like, Tommy from the river, Tommy? Doesn’t he sort of hate your guts?”

“Turns out it’s the opposite. I think he likes me.”

“And what gives you that impression?”

“He told me.”

Reese’s face is suddenly very close to the screen. “Excuse me? Why is this the first I’m hearing about it?”

“Because it’s a recent development. And I’m not exactly thrilled with my source of this information. I don’t want you to judge me.”

“Nicky, sweetie, who is the saint that held your hand while you ralphed an entire bottle of Goldschlager at my eighteenth birthday party? Who sat beside you and was a pillar of emotional support at Sammy’s funeral? Who helped you cover up that hickey from George Spatz in eighth grade?”

I give her a look. “Reese, Janet did all of that.”

“And who do you think told her to do all those things? That’s right, me. Anyways, lets not focus on the semantics. What I’m getting at is that I would never judge you. Now tell me all of your dirty, dirty secrets.”

My phone vibrates. It’s him.

“Hey, I’ve got to take this,” I say to Reese, hovering my mouse over the ‘X’.

“Are you serious? Just before the gooey details?”

“We’ll talk tomorrow, I promise. That is, if I survive the hike.”

“Okay, fine, I hate you, I love you, byeee.”

“Love you, bye.”

I end the video chat, swiping open Tommy’s message. There’s already a second waiting.

I finally did it. I asked him to hang out with me. We’re going hiking tomorrow. 9:43pm
