Someone Else’s Girl — Episode 8

later he sent a photo no person in the shot just a small bouquet of white daisies and pale pink tulips wrapped in brown paper clean and simple i remember you said you didn't like over the top roses so i got this a little later no rush i'll be here i stared at the messages for a while the scammer using a fake pic was actually pretty committed i closed my hand over my phone

fine i'd meet him and clear it up if you just faked the pics but wasn't a bad guy maybe we could at least start as friends he had been good to me these past few months he remembered everything i liked he even remembered my period dates i used to think he was just acting but now that i thought about it even if it was an act it was a really detailed one then the guy next to me tapped my

arm i turned his face was red and he was gripping his boarding pass hi sorry i know this is random but can i get your number it blinked then shook my head sorry someone's picking me up he stepped back even redder oh no it's fine sorry my bad i rolled my suitcase toward arrivals across the crowd i spotted the flowers right away white daisies and pale pink tulips held against

Gray hoodie, black joggers, broad shoulders, long legs, a dark backpack slung over one shoulder. Then, like he'd finally gotten impatient, he moved the flowers aside and showed his face. Holy shit.
