This book is weird as fuck, but also very funny.

Noah

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?

Yeah. I see what you meant about the poetry haha.

It’s hilarious!

Wait, why are you awake? Isn’t itlike 3 am there?

Aw, are you tracking the time zone where I am?

Someone has a crush.

It’s me. I have a crush on you.

Fuck. Sorry. Have I made it weird?

Only by avoiding the question…why are you awake?

I don’t know if anyone has told you this, but supes don’t need as much sleep as humans…

See, I’d buy that if you hadn’t texted me several hours ago telling me you were knackered because it’s been a few days since you’d slept.

Which, again, means you’re evading the question.

Damn. I won’t lie, you calling me on my bullshit is a turn-on.

Please feel free to do it again in future.

I’ll do it right now by pointing out you STILL HAVEN’T ANSWERED THE QUESTION.

Eurgh, fine.

I had a nightmare.

Happens sometimes. When it does, there’s no point trying to sleep any more.

I’m sorry, Jeremiah.

That sucks.

Do you want to talk about it?

Not really.

But maybe that means I should?

I’m not a therapist, but I think getting it off your chest could be a good idea. Especially if it’s the same nightmare every time?

It is.

It’s not just a nightmare; it’s a memory.

I don’t want to tell you via text.

That’s valid.
