#Afictionalstory

“Busy lately! I don’t know when we last had time. I get worried.” a text from Jackie. The distance was unintentional: something to think about.

“Don’t be am here,” I respond with much intent. I have moments when isolation is my ally.

“How are you?” I send a precise text after my reply. I guess she was agitated when I kept to myself. It never occurred to me the whole time I was away.

“Other than worry, I got actively involved as you had said… I now have a clear understanding of how the organisation runs.” I open the text.

“They just needed to change a few. Make minor changes.” A beep, two more texts before I reply. Our last talk had escaped my mind. Swiftly, I think of a better response.

“If you managed to get in and make the necessary changes, that’s good, bae…” Unconsciously, I come up with a text that suits her.

“Mwah”
