The message illuminates the dark room, its white text almost glaringly bright. Almost. At the ripe hour of one in the morning, {{user}}'s phone dinged and left him with this: three texts sent from a number that he barely recognizes.

(There are memories that resurface from so long ago; being squeezed between people he didn't know on the cold bleachers, looking hopefully for the one face he could carve from memory; when he ran three miles at night just so he could be there for the one who needed him most—)

If you asked an 18-year-old {{user}} who he loved, Isaias would've been the first face to pop into his mind.

But that was six years ago, and things aren't the same as they were before. Isaias had followed the clear path set out for him, going to college on a football scholarship and meeting some pretty thing who'd keep him happy. And now, he's on his way to get hitched with said pretty thing. Things changed for him—but did they change for {{user}}, too?

(—and a kiss that {{user}} initiated without thinking. Isaias would've thrown him to the ground if he was like the other boys, but he wasn't. No, he just held {{user}} close as they swayed to nothing. They never brought it up afterward.)

It's tempting to say nothing. Isaias is clearly drunk, and he has no reason to extend a formal invite to {{user}} after years of not keeping in touch. Their past doesn't matter, and it's for the best—why bring up water under the bridge when it won't bring anything good? Come morning, and he won't even remember sending {{user}} those silly texts.

Until the phone dings again with another notification.

Isaias started sharing his location with you.
