Scott and I have fallen into a comfortable pattern as the weeks go by. He’s consistent with sending drawings every week, and I’m equally reliable at texting him first almost every day.
But on the rare occasions Scott messages me first, I’m hit with a wave of giddiness. And today, he breaks my happiness meter with a single message alone.
Scott:I saw this and thought of you.
My heart races in my chest, betraying exactly how I feel about Scottthinking about me. I open up the link he sent of a Buzzfeed quiz.
AWhich Character From Pride and Prejudice Are You Most Likequiz.
I swear I almost fall out of my chair from swooning so hard. There’s no way he happened to come across this on his own. He must have outright been searching for a conversation starter and thought this was a good option.
I grin as I type up a response.
Me:Did you take it?
Scott:Maybe.
Me:WHO DID YOU GET?
Scott:You want the truth or a lie?
Me:Always the truth.
His text takes a whole ten minutes. I’m afraid I scared him off with my response, but he comes back with a message I wasn’t expecting.
Scott:Elizabeth Bennet.
I curl over and laugh until my voice turns hoarse.
Me:Honestly, she’s the best character.
Scott:She’s a woman.
Me:She’s more than JUST a woman.
Scott:Obviously or else there wouldn’t be seventeen versions of her story.
Scott:Although I’m partial to 2005 Lizzy.
My cheeks ache from smiling so hard.
Me:You’ve been watching the movies?!
Scott:Yes.
Scott:But tell a single soul and I’ll find your HP address.
I smile at his attempt at a joke.
Me:Was that a joke?
Scott:If you need to ask, then I failed.
I release a heavy laugh.
