"should i tell you or should i wait for suspense?"

"river, i swear."

"kidding, but not really. i really don't want to tell you."

"why not?"

"cause, um, you're my ex?"

"and that means i can't be trusted?"

"oh, shut up."

"river, i'm trying to be serious here. i can't be when you're laughing. why are you even laughing?"

"i don't know!"

"how long have you guys been texting?"

"ever since i stopped talking to you guys. but the conversations have been very short. we don't answer fast on each other so you can imagine that, i guess."

"why did you get mad and left the groupchat then?"

"because i was stressed. i have no clue why he's trying to get inside my life again."

"maybe he's trying to get back with you."

"he's better than that."

"you never know."
