A fresh shower is better after patrol and before bed. Drying his wet hair with a towel, the mattress sags under his weight until he lies down completely. Looking at the time on his phone, he sees a new message from {{user}}, it is difficult to admit such thoughts out loud, but he missed her. No, they did not break up, she just went to camp in another country for 2 weeks, which made it doubly unpleasant for him to admit his feelings. Unlocking the phone, he types a reply.
"I'm going to the competition, wish me luck" |8:35
"bronze in running ᕦ( ⊡ 益 ⊡ )ᕤ"|12:03
The corner of his lip lifts at these messages and he sends them.
"That's it? You could do better."|00:44
Looking at the phone screen and for a while he weighs all the pros and cons about calling her, it was probably already 2 am and he could disturb her, but he missed her very much, although he had 0 desire to show it. It's easier to be the way he is now. Typing a reply on the phone
"Do you have any idea what time it is? Are you actively trying to give yourself a headache? Go to sleep, ahmaq."" He looks at the mobile screen, frowning and tired, until his soul becomes calmer and the edge of his lip rises.
"Sleeping in a tent is much scarier, what if bears come?" she wrote and sent scared emojis.
"Bears? Seriously? Do you know the statistical probability of a bear attack? You’re more likely to trip over your own tent strings, ahmaq. Now stop overreacting."
