“Yeah, I noticed too.”

I type a response to BigSpoon.

ASingleRose26

I want to meet you too. But how does that work? I don’t know what you look like. Actually, I don’t even know your name, haha.

When I set my phone down to resume the dishes, Nate’s pings from his pocket and he pulls it out to type something. He must be letting his family and friends know he’s ok too.

My phone chimes again.

BigSpoon92

You mean, you don’t just want to call me Big Spoon forever? I wouldn’t mind.

I think we could choose a place to meet. Or, I could just send you my picture.

ASingleRose26

Then you’d have to call me Little Spoon forever too, and people might raise their eyebrows at us in public.

I hear Nate’s phone ping again as I type another message.

ASingleRose26

I think the app has an option for us to both agree to send photos.

Nate gets another message and I glance up at him. “Well, you’re more popular than I expected.”

He shrugs without looking at me. “Just a few friends checking in after the storm.”

My phone chimes again.

BigSpoon92

Yep, I just toggled photo sharing on for me. You just have to do the same on your end. I’m nervous…but I don’t know why. I want to meet you no matter what.

ASingleRose26

Same. Can we promise that? That we’ll give it a try no matter what?

The second after I hit send, Nate’s phone pings yet again. He’s nodding at the screen as he types something.

“Ok, Mr. Popular, who are you talking to?” I try to get a peek at his phone but he tilts it away. “It’s a girl, isn’t it?” I tease. He looks too eager for it to just be a friend.

He smiles at his phone while he types, ignoring me.

“A prettyhotgirl it seems…” I roll my eyes and look back at my screen as another message comes in.

BigSpoon92

I promise.

ASingleRose26

I promise too.

Another ping sounds from his phone, but he’s not looking at it this time. He’s regarding me curiously. I mirror his expression and furrow my brow. Then he looks down at his screen and types.
