It’s 4:20 am and you haven’t slept a single bit. You’ve tried, but something just doesn’t feel right and you can’t get comfortable. You’ve been debating if you should call Matt for hours.

Just then, you get a notification. You check it—it’s a snap from him. Why is he up so late? Or early. You open it to see a mirror picture where he looks tired, the caption being “can’t sleep?”. He must have seen that you were active on Instagram just a few moments ago.
