My morning ritual always starts with responding to Desiree Monet's texts from the night before.

Okay, it hasn't always been like this.

It's been going on since mid-December.

I honestly thought that Desiree wasn't gonna reach out first, but she did. She just needed a bit of time.

Desiree first messaged me because she couldn't sleep. She had things on her mind and needed a distraction.

Best believe I canceled whatever plans I had for the next hour so I could talk with her. I helped her fall asleep since she had a final to take in the morning.

I didn't make her tell me what was going on if she wasn't comfortable with it though.

We've been messaging back and forth ever since that day.

I read through each text I missed from her while I was asleep and responded to them. The last thing she sent was a voice memo.

Desiree sends them whenever she has to say a lot and doesn't want to type it out.

"Hey, so, remember that class I couldn't sign up for during registration season?" she asks. "Well, I checked this morning and there was an empty seat–"

My lips curve into a smile knowing that she'll be taking the class this coming semester.

I don't know much about the class but what I do know is that she desperately wants to take it.

"—so I went ahead and registered for it." Desiree sighs happily. "You don't understand how excited I am, Dominic. I've heard so many good things about the professor and the class in general."

I pause the voice memo and make a mental note to ask her more about the classes she's taking when I land in Paris later.

She doesn't know I'm flying in. I plan on surprising her.
