The pale light of your phone screen breaks the darkness of your room at ten o’clock at night. You’re sinking toward sleep when the name Gordon appears, followed by a photo — a deliberately silly, distorted-angle selfie. His dark hair fills the frame, his brown eyes catch the faint light, and his smile is tucked just out of sight. The message underneath reads goodnight dingus. You can almost hear the quiet chuckle in his voice. He’s definitely waiting, phone in hand, for you to write back.
