Maxim: Be careful.
Grace: I will.
Maxim: Did you have a good sleep last night?
Grace: No. Seems I’m not used to sleeping alone anymore.
I feel the same, Wildcat.
Grace: But there were no nightmares. I think I was too tired for them.
Maxim: I bet your family was happy to see you.
Grace: It was overwhelming. Everything is so loud here. I miss your solitude.
Grace: My sister Sophie, she’s the journalist, she has questions. She’s not buying the story I’m giving.
Grace: Zoe, on the other hand, has been so supportive. She guessed straight away that something happened between us. But she isn’t judging me. She of all people knows what it’s like to fall for someone in unusual circumstances.
Grace: Don’t worry, none of them know who you are. That is all for me.
Maxim: Whatever you need to do to make things easier for you, do it.
Grace: What happened between us is just for us. They’ll move on once the novelty of me being home is over.
Maxim: I’m here if you need me.
Grace: I’ll always need you.
What the hell do I say to that.
Maxim: I’m yours.
Grace: I know. And I’m yours.
Maxim: Wildcat, I have to go. I’m glad you texted.
Grace: Me too.
Grace: Can I call you tonight?
Maxim: We should just keep it to texts.
Grace: Please just one call?
Maxim: Fine. 10pm tonight.
Grace: Talk to you then. Bye.
I’m so screwed.
Grace: I’m alone.
The text comes through. I’m sitting on my bed, nervous over a phone call. I press her number, and her gorgeous face fills the screen when she picks up. Fuck, she’s beautiful.
“Gosh, it’s so good to see your face.”
“It’s good to see yours too, Wildcat.” Using her nickname makes her smile wildly.
