“Huh?”
“We’re ready.”
“Right.”
Sorry. Busy. I messaged back before putting my phone away. I was really busy, but I was sort of...excited to see what he’d write tomorrow.
He didn’t write.
I waited all freaking day.
But no letter came.
So now I was lying in bed feeling a little anxious.
But I didn’t call, either, because...But what if he wanted me to write, so he stopped writing? And I didn’t want to show that it bothered me because, apparently, I was ridiculous.
NOVEMBER 7
Dear Odette,
First, forgive me for not sending you a letter yesterday. There was a bit of a mix-up, and Wolfgang nearly died trying to get through the rain and lost it. Anyway, more importantly, what do you look like now? It feels as if it has been so long since we last met. At first, I was bothered by it, but now, I like to think that you enjoy this just as much as I do. After all, you could have easily called and told me to stop with my damn letters. I was expecting it, honestly. But seeing as how you have not, I am further encouraged. Clearly, you are starting to warm up to me.

“You’re a little too smug,” I muttered down to the paper. And I was annoyed at myself for reading it! I knew he was going to do it again, but still, I read. Grabbing my phone, I texted.
I am not warming up even a little bit.
I beg to differ. —Gale
You cannot differ on the topic of my emotions. —Odette
I can, and I do. —Gale
You’re annoying. You know that, right? —Odette
And yet, here you are messaging me. —Gale
Because you keep writing to me. —Odette.
Tell me to stop writing then. —Gale
I frowned, not texting back.
Did someone turn up the temperature? I do believe your hesitation is proof that you are warming up to me. —Gale
You aren’t funny! —Odette
I beg to differ. —Gale
“Ugh!” I groaned, lying back down.
Let me know when you wish to stop avoiding me. —Gale
I am not avoiding you. —Odette.
