Maria: I got so sick from the steak salad at lunch yesterday.

Sam: Ugh. I’m so sorry. Now, I’m happy I changed my mind and got the chicken.

Maria: Consider yourself lucky. Being sick and alone sucks. I know you don’t like talking about the past but it did remind me of that night I got the stomach flu senior year when my parents were away for their anniversary. And how you never left my side.

Sam: I remember

Maria: I threw up all over your new Nikes. puke face emoji

Sam: Ha! That’s right. I kinda forgot about that.

Maria: If you were mad, you never showed it.

Sam: I could never be mad at you.

Maria: Lord knows I’ve done plenty to make you mad.

Maria: This may be a loaded question but, do you still think about any of it?

Sam: Think about what?

Maria: Us. And how we ended.

Sam: I don’t think this is a conversation to have over text.

Maria: You’re right. Sorry.
