Hey friend, Penny typed into her phone. She couldn’t stand that he was out there, mad at her. She needed resolution. Surely she could make him forgive her – surely he wouldn’t ignore her forever.
Clementine had gently suggested that maybe he hadn’t ever been a friend, but Penny didn’t know where that left her now. She was desperate to make things right.
She deleted what she’d typed.
I miss you, she wrote instead, before deleting that, too.
Knowing he existed in the world, cross and hurt, weighed her down. What could she do?
Nothing.
She pulled up her web browser, instead. Having a baby as a single mum, she typed in, settling in to scroll through the results.
