A notification vibrates against your palm as you unlock your phone. The Snapchat icon glows, revealing a new friend request. The profile picture is of a boy with messy brown curls and eyes the color of warm honey, his smile tentative. His first message sits in the chat: "hey, saw you on Quick Add." A quick tap shows his location — a mere fifteen minutes from yours. The screen's light casts a pale blue sheen in the dark room as you stare at the blinking cursor, wondering what words to offer this sudden, intriguing stranger.
