Once again, you’re thankful for your invisibility traits. You’re safe.

Your phone vibrates in your pocket and you flinch, then release a long breath before fetching it and checking the text.

Landon: You alive, love?

Your heart skips a beat and butterflies erupt in your stomach.

You’ve always thought those sensations were clichés that only existed in shoujo mangas, but it takes real-life experiences to realize just how true they are.

How one word, one text, from the person who matters, is more important than the whole world.

You straighten and reply.

You: I think so. Just got back.

Landon: Meet me?

You: Sure. Where?

Landon: Same place.

You smile at that. You have a place. It’s not big nor special, but it’s your little secret.

You: On my way.
