I think we look pretty cute together, Kane
I decide to break the ice by sending her the image of her inmy arms on the couch from earlier. As per Selene’s request, I already uploaded it to my social media accounts and tagged her in it, but Aria hasn’t liked or reposted it. I have a feeling it’s because she hasn’t been active on social media.
I wait for her to respond but nothing comes for a few minutes. Then two more minutes pass and I sigh in defeat the way I usually do when she rejects me. I’m persistent, tenacious even. I don’t give up easily, especially when it comes to her. She knocks me down sometimes, but I get back up.
I’m about to turn my phone off and accept I won’t be getting a response when a message finally lights up my screen.

Hmm, idk
Aria
I think I look cuter.
I smile to myself. The photo of us would make anyone believe we’re a real couple. The way we’re both smiling at each other, the way my arms are wrapped around her, and how perfectly our bodies fit together. We look perfect together. Happy.

I agree with you on that
Me
You’re definitely the cute one
Aria
Glad we can agree
I don’t want the conversation to die down. Instead, I change the topic and start a new line of conversation.
