It was that guy with the abs she had followed.
He hadn't posted in a while, but he had just dropped a new video today.
It was another one of those shadowy, tasteful, yet highly teasing shots showing off his core.
It definitely hit all of Claire's aesthetic preferences.
She immediately smashed the like button.
Just as she was about to leave a comment, a direct message popped up.
"Why are you still awake?"
Claire typed back instantly. "Lonely in bed, obviously."
The other person replied, "..."
Claire frowned, questioning her own flirting skills.
Then came another text. "Go to sleep!"
Claire pouted. Pretty bossy.
Losing all interest, she tossed her phone aside, too lazy to reply.
Maybe because her attention had been diverted, she ended up falling asleep not long after.
When she woke up the next day, it was past ten in the morning.
Unlocking her phone, she found the screen still hovering on last night's chat.
Since she hadn't responded, he hadn't reached out again either.
He was probably just bored and mass-messaging to fish for attention.
She tapped back and checked his profile, only to see he had deleted the video from last night.
Total fisher. What a player!
After washing up, she walked out to find Noreen already awake and working on her laptop in the living room.
Rosalind Gilmore had changed clothes and was getting ready to head out.
"Auntie, are you going somewhere?" Claire asked.
"Yes, making a quick trip to the Traditional Wellness Center," Rosalind replied.
"Are you sick?" Claire asked, concerned.
