    You and Keegan had a fight.

    The reason wasn’t even that serious, but neither of you wanted to be the first to give in.

    Early that morning, he left for the base to attend a meeting, barely saying a word before he walked out.

    Now the apartment is quiet.

    You’re curled up on the couch, scrolling through your phone. The TV is on, but you’re not really watching it. Your eyes drift back to your chat with him.

    “Try not to think about what I’m wearing right now.”

    Your phone buzzes almost instantly.

    His reply is short.
