text ♔ to alex

[bittersweeter]

[ a couple of weeks after alex's birthday, after sending her apology card, lila texts alex like thirty pictures from their aquarium adventure and SHARKS and also, ]

I was an asshole. You were saying no and it made me feel bad so idk I wanted to make you feel bad too and I was a bitch. It was a genuinely mean thing to do. I'm sorry.

[ and then she jams her phone in the couch and climbs into the shower so she doesn't have to dwell on whether or not he answers. a+ coping. ]
