Chapter Seventeen
I’d put so much focus on potentially being rejected that I hadn’t even thought about what I’d do if he didn’tblank me anddidactually reply.
I clicked into the chat. Sure enough, there were two new messages from an overseas number, and next to them was a photo of none other than Lorenzo…
Lorenzo
Hi, Sophia
Lorenzo
Prof here…
I took my plate of food out of the microwave and carried it along with my phone into the living room, sitting down on the sofa.
I glanced down again at the screen. Yep. His messages were still there, and he was still online—perhaps waiting for me to reply. Now might be a good time to snap out of this daze and do exactly that…
Me
Hey there, teacher…
The double ticks on my message turned blue. He’d read my reply…
Lorenzo
How are you?
As tempting as it was to say,I’m missing you like crazy and want to fly back over to Florence right now and rip your clothes off,instead I simply settled for:
Me
Good, thanks. How are you?
His reply came quickly:
Lorenzo
Good, thanks…new group tomorrow, so early start.
I fired a message back:
Me
Oh, that’s a shame.
Right. Enough of the niceties…
Me
So, are you just messaging me to say hello or something else…?
Lorenzo
typing…
typing…
Come on. What’s taking so long?
