After organizing her notes, Nadine was about to go to bed. When she picked up her phone to check the time, she noticed several unread messages. Moving to open them, she found messages from Brad.
Brad: "Good evening. Have you gone to sleep?"
Brad: "Good evening, my friend!"
Brad: "Good evening, stranger."
Brad: "Good evening, person."
Brad: "Don't forget to attend my wedding tomorrow at 9:00 am, Nadine. Remember to bring a gift!"
Nadine went through all the messages again and pieced together what was going on. It turned out that he thought their relationship was drifting apart because she hadn't been replying.
However, something about it inexplicably made her laugh. Hence, after reading the messages, she decided to respond. "If I don't reply, are you going to have kids by then?"
Brad was so childish, it was almost laughable. No sooner had she sent her reply than his response came through.
Brad: "Who are you? And how do you have my mom's number?"
"He's such a drama queen," she thought. Nadine rolled her eyes at the ceiling, put her phone down, and decided not to reply. She was about to go to sleep when her phone buzzed again.
Brad: "Hi gorgeous, it's dark and cold outside. Could I come over for a hot cup of chocolate to warm myself up?"
