Sometimes it still felt weird to get texts from Lauren; and yet at the same time it felt so normal, so right. I couldn't help but smile weakly at the words on the screen. Her heart was still as big as ever, and I swore it grew every second.

C: Yeah thanks💞 luckily it wasn't too close to where my family's at so they're good

C: But it's heartbreaking

L: I know

L: It starts to seem like it's just constantly one thing after another right?

L: The world has enough natural disasters so why do people have to intentionally fuck it up too

C: lol what did trump do now

C: lol what did trump do now

L: You know me so well😂

L: Shhh I didn't mean to do that

L: I texted about Mexico not to bore you with political talk

C: You always make it seem interesting somehow

L: Maybe because it is😉

C: Sureeeee it is😋

L: lol whatever🙄 I'm glad your fams ok

L: How was your day?

Yeah, no it was definitely still weird talking to Lauren again, especially when she asks me things like that; things that made it seem like our entire dramatic history had been erased.

For some reason, 'How was your day' is one of the most intimate questions to me. It's like the 'I actually care about you' version of 'How are you'; like the person asking wants the long version. It made my heart warm.

Just when I was about to start answering, a few texts started to pop up on my screen.
