Chapter 188

Ruby

I’ve never been so excited for a Friday night in my life. This week has passed slowly, with numerous text messages between Caleb and me. Even if we can’t see each other much, at least we have this as a means to get to know each other. We haven’t been able to get together, and maybe that’s why I’m so excited. He’s busy, I’m busy, and we don’t have just a ton of free time to devote to one another.

It’s a commitment; I know I’m serious when I make one, and he seems to be serious too. This must be the difference in dealing with a man, rather than a boy who’s unsure of what he wants.

So far, I have to admit I’m liking it. Grabbing my phone, I scroll back through our messages, grinning as I see some of them, thinking back to our conversations.

C: What’s your favorite TV show?

R: Whatever I can watch on Netflix and don’t have to wait for. I like shows that are already over.

C: Into that instant gratification, huh?
