[ she wants to see him - that realization hits her wholly and squarely in the chest. it's been two weeks, two weeks of uncertainty and of space and of not knowing if he's okay or what this world is going to be. the contact has brought relief, but something about seeing his frustrations in text, in a way she could almost hear the annoyed huffs he's making.
