Sunday Morning Messages

Lucy was still in her robe, pouring Charlotte a bowl of cereal while the cartoons played softly in the background, when her phone buzzed on the counter.She glanced at the screen and froze.Tim Bradford.She hadn't heard from him since the park, and her chest tightened at the thought of what he might say. Slowly, she picked up the phone and opened the message.Hey. I've been thinking about yesterday. A lot.I'd really like to talk, just the two of us. About Charlotte. About everything.Would you be willing to meet me today? Just for a little while?Lucy stared at the screen, heart pounding. She looked over at Charlotte, happily munching away and humming to herself.Her thumb hovered over the keyboard before she finally replied.Yes. I can meet you later this afternoon. Just let me know where.
