Then it ends up being pretty convenient, since it's not that occasional for me either.
[ maybe eventually it'll click that this girl-with-a-boyfriend has been replying back to his texts just as regularly as he's been sending them, and reaching out pretty regularly with texts of her own at any given time of day, too, but maybe he won't. and that's actually fine! because she's not about to point it out, because she's also determined not to think about why she's not texting said boyfriend instead. or why she's not actually with him.
maybe "distraction" isn't totally accurate, but it's not totally wrong, either.
although right now, in the moment? she's not really thinking about it that deeply. all she can seem to think about right now is how fucked up and sad it is that they're all dealing with this thing, and have been dealing with this thing, for years. and it somehow keeps getting heavier and harder to shake, to the point where getting a full night's sleep has become a nearly impossible goal. ]
You can text me anytime, too. I mean, that's what you told me, when I was apologizing for all those dumb texts I sent you? But I just realized I never actually said it back, so... Yeah. I mean it. Anytime.
( hey, for sure Steve has noticed this girl with a boyfriend has been texting him back and texting him of her own volition lately. it would be hard for him to text back if he didn't! but they're working on being friends again, right? friends talk. friends talk more than just when the world might be ending or the stakes are so high they have to.
they talk about the new movies just in to Family Video, they talk about sleepy snuggly storytime with Holly, they ... talk about sleepless nights and slightly dangerous running routines and eating breakfast foods at strange hours.
Nancy didn't have to tell him he can text her any time, they've already sort of just started doing it. still, a nice warm fuzzy feeling that she said it out loud anyway. )
Okay, Nance. Anytime. Including before night jogs and 3am pancakes. I can do that.
My ice is half melted already, though, I'm gonna go scrounge for a bag of peas or something. I'll talk to you later? Hopefully not at 3am, but maybe at 3am.
And anytime you need the reminder not to punch some jerk that isn't worth your time, too, don't forget. Or... maybe just try to stay out of trouble, in general? For the next couple of days, at least, until Holly finishes your bracelet.
Oh! Yeah, of course. I'll be here. Even at 3am. Good luck on your frozen veggies hunt.
