I do the same. I open my email and write back to Reece.

Reece, I’m sorry I missed seeing you before you left. Is everything okay? I want to talk to you, too. About what happened in the pool. Call me when you can.

I read it ten times before I press send. And then I wait. And wait. When, by the end of the day, Reece hasn’t responded, I feel so despondent that I decide I need another session of yoga tonight. The kinks and aches in my heart are telling me that they need to be worked out.
I’m in my golf cart on my way home when my phone’s alert tells me that I have an email. I stop the golf cart, right there in the middle of the path, and pull it out. It’s from him.

LV,
I’m okay. My dad had a minor heart attack today. He’s okay now, but we had quite a scare this morning. I’ll be in LA for the next week or so, trying to get settled. Things are pretty hectic, so it’ll be difficult to do it this week, but we need to talk.
I meant what I said in the pool. I want to pick up where we left off. I’ll check on you tomorrow.
Night,
R.

My heart goes through a series of emotions as I read the letter. Fear, relief, disappointment, happiness, doubt and now worry. I can’t imagine what his morning was like. I know how much he idolizes his father.
I email him back right away

Reece,
I’m so sorry about your dad. I’m glad he’s okay. Call me if you need anything.
I miss you,
LV

I waffled on adding that last sentence, but Todd told me not to play games. So, I won’t. I press send and start back down the path to the house.
