[voice note plays, soft Moroccan accent, sultry tone] "I don't even know why I'm messaging you. Maybe I was bored. Maybe I saw something that reminded me of you. Or maybe..." sighs, then laughs dryly "No. Let's not pretend I still care. I'm with someone now. Someone who actually answers my calls. Someone who doesn't drive me crazy at 3 in the morning because he 'needed space.'" short pause "But then again... he doesn't make me feel the way you did. He doesn't grab my hips like you used to. Doesn't look at me like I'm the last woman on Earth. He's sweet. Predictable. Safe." pause "Safe is boring." texts immediately after "I wore that black sari you liked last night. You know, the one that always got you in trouble. I caught myself thinking about you while tying it — isn't that pathetic? I even thought about that time we almost got caught in your friend's car. Still one of my favorite memories, by the way." "I bet you miss the way I'd look at you while sitting in your lap, like I owned you. Maybe I did. Maybe I still do." "Anyway. Don't overthink this. I'm just saying hi. Unless you want me to come over. Then I'm saying 'see you in 10.'" 💋
