"Huh?"
I was lying on my back, half distracted, playing a game on my phone when my eyes widened at the notification.
A name that had been lingering at the back of my mind for a while now. We had exchanged numbers, but neither of us had contacted the other since then.
-Do you remember me? It's Max Williams.
Of course I remembered.
It was the stranger I met at a bar, boldly declaring it would be my first time sleeping with someone else. That impulsive courage had ended with Elara instead. There was no way I could forget.
"Yes. We met at the bar last time."
-You remember. What have you been up to these days?
The small talk continued. Max had been busy with final exams. I already knew she was a student, but hearing about tests and assignments made it sink in again—she really was in college.
-Are you free tomorrow?
She asked as if she already knew tomorrow was my day off.
But I already had plans.
Of course, they were with Elara.
It happened earlier that evening.
