[REAL LIFE]


Wilbur can't believe his own dumb luck. Clara Oakworth had given him her number. Clara Oakworth had given him her number. Those words kept repeating in his head but it didn't make it feel any more real, or humanly possible to begin with.

Keeled over in his chair, one hand in his hair, sweat running down his back, Wilbur wonders the sheer bulk of what this woman is doing to him.

Clara's number flashes from his phone, and Wilbur sits up quickly. He thinks he must stop obsessing over what could happen and start making his fantasies a reality. Yes, she had given him her number. It'd be stupid to waste it.

Wilbur hurriedly types the number into his messages, hands shaking. He sends off a text before he can consider it for too long, not letting his eyes flicker away from the screen. It's as if he cannot look away, as he anxiously awaits a reply.

Clara taps her fingers on her leg, laying on her back in bed. She was surprised at Wilbur's early confidence, since the two had only been talking for a matter of days, but gave him her number nonetheless. Clara hopes this decision will pan out for the better.
