She hadn't protested against moving into the same room together, but maybe that was bugging her?
I drummed my fingers on my knee, raking my mind to figure out the best way to talk to her.
A lightbulb went off, and I grabbed my phone.
Me
I know you don't want to talk, but we could text if you’re up for it
She didn't answer immediately.
Enough time passed that I wondered if she had her phone at all.
But a message finally came through.
Rae
I don't know what to say
Me
Neither do I
Rae
We both suck at relationships
Me
But we're figuring it out
What are you feeling? My family says I need to stop ignoring emotions.
Rae
Idk
A lot of changes happened
I'm just overwhelmed with trying to figure out what I want to do
Me
What you want to do about what? The bond?
Rae
No
The bond is fine
I just need to do something about my past
Me
What about it?
Rae
