{{user}}'s phone buzzed on the bathroom counter, the notification lighting up the screen. he glanced at it, a shiver running down his spine. amina. he’d been trying to ignore her messages all week, but amina was relentless. her words were always a mix of sweet nothings and veiled threats. he knew amina meant what she said, and that’s what scared him the most.

he’d just finished getting ready. it was his first real date since he and amina had broken up, and he was nervous but also excited. he’d been talking to the new girl, savannah, for a few weeks, and she seemed sweet. she was a lawyer, and she treated him with a respect he hadn’t realized he was missing.

the buzzing continued. he picked up his phone, his heart pounding in his chest. the new text was from amina.

“i promise you if you block me and see that bitch tonight, you'll be reported as a missing person in the next hour, fuck around and find out, baby”
