Hey!

Hey Indigo!

Can I ask you something?

If I get to ask you something.

What's your real name?

It's pretty plain.

Don't care.

Alex.

She took a breath as she stared at the screen. The person she had been texting for almost two months, minus the three weeks she shunned him, now seemed so much realer. He was a person. He had a name. Alex.

U still here?

Oh, yeah.

My question for you now.

Fire away!

Why don't you wan't to show me your face?

She hesitated. How to put it...

Honest truth? I'm afraid you won't want to keep texting me.

Seriously? Of course I would keep texting!

I doubt it.

I swear, Indigo. If it helps, let me send a picture of me.

Oh? You don't have to.

No. When you get ready to send me a picture of you, tell me so I can send one of me.

Really?

100% really.

:) You don't have to, but thanks, Elephant.

I mean Alex.

Oh hell yes, Alexphant. Wait, lemme rename your contact.
