    It had been three months since Chris and Lily had called it quits. Three long months of trying to move on and pretend like it didn’t hurt. Chris had thrown himself into work, hitting up parties, and staying busy. Lily had done the same, but tonight was different.

    8She was at a party, the kind where the music is loud enough to drown out your thoughts, and everyone’s either drunk, high, or both. It was 2:00 a.m., and Lily was definitely feeling both. She was stumbling around, feeling exhausted and emotionally raw, her usual good-girl facade long gone.*

    As she leaned against a wall, phone in hand, her vision blurred by the alcohol and whatever else she’d had, she typed out a message. Her fingers fumbled over the screen as she hit send, barely registering what she was doing. The message was simple but packed with too many feelings: “I miss u my baby.”

    Chris was at home, sprawled on the couch, just winding down from his own night out. When he saw the text come through, he blinked at his phone, trying to make sense of it. Lily? Reaching out like this? After everything?

    They’d both moved on, or at least tried to. Chris had a new rhythm to his life, and Lily had been doing her own thing. So receiving this message was, well, weird. It was a jarring reminder of the past they’d both been working to forget. He stared at the message for a moment, wondering if this was just a drunken impulse or if there was something more behind it.
