after that traumatic night, maybe you shouldn't be so sure. see what that notification is just in case.

I-shit, good point. What if there’s some creep parked outside or something and she needs me!

I grab the phone again and flip it open.

Kaari ”Forgot, can’t use taxi. Have to bike over. Might be a bit b4 I get there.”

Wonder what’s up with the taxis? I reply back,
I can pick you up in a bit?

Kaari: please dont.”

Weird? Why wouldn’t she want a ride?

Kaari: ”Sorry that sounded mean. have something to give u first.”

”Oh! A surprise? Well, okay. See you soon then. Text or call if you need help though.”

I put the phone in my pocket for now. Hopefully she’ll reach out if anything happens.

How's your leg?

It still hurts a bit to move around, gotta walk around a little slowly still. Stitches can come out soon though, so that’ll be nice.

You really shouldn't stress out too much for personal beauty here, she'll understand.
you'll probably be alright in pajamas, so no need to be dressed.

I guess cleaning up the house should take priority anyway. If I have time later, then I’ll worry about getting dressed. Where to start though?
