Me – It’s fine. I just messaged Alec about it.

Me – Hi. My name is Cassie, I am 24 years old, and I met Alec a little over a week ago.

Laurie – They move fast. Damn.

Laurie – I was married and pregnant to Kenton within six months of meeting him.

Me – When you know, you know.

Laurie – Hi. My name is Laurie, I am 29 years old, and a mom to two babies.

Then a text from Alec came through.

Soldier Boy – She tell you, my handle?

Me – She did.

Soldier Boy – That’s one of those things that can never be repeated. Okay?

I got it. I did.

Me – Okay. I’ll keep it safe.

Soldier Boy – And for the record, I aim to make that my reality.

Me – What?

Soldier Boy – You’re my end game.

Me – We just met.

Soldier Boy – Fate.

I fell asleep smiling that night.

Day 4

Soldier Boy – Favorite movie?

Me – Waterboy.

Soldier Boy – No shit?

Me – No shit.

Me – Yours?

Soldier Boy – The Green Mile.

Me – Like the drink, only not spelt the same.

Soldier Boy – *wink emoji* Gotta get some sleep.

Me – Night, Alec.

Day 8

Me – Summer or Winter?
