Four years ago.

I unlike it so fast my thumb almost misses the button.

Okay.

Crisis averted.

Except my finger taps the screen again.

I have somehow liked it twice.

I immediately remove it again.

“Oh my gosh.” I throw my phone onto the bed.

Maybe he won’t notice.

Please don’t notice.

People don’t get notifications for likes that disappear immediately, right?

My phone buzzes.

I pick it up with caution.

Did you just like a picture of mine from 2022?

I squeeze my eyes shut.

Nope.

Not reading that.

The phone buzzes again.

Olivia... This is starting to feel a little stalker-ish.

I bury my face in my pillow.

“I’m moving.” Nobody hears me. “I’m changing my name.”

My thumbs fly across the keyboard.

I SWEAR IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

Delete.

Too dramatic.

My thumb slipped.

Delete.

Sounds fake.

I was just scrolling.
