he grabs his phone
not two seconds later it beeps
1newmsg

his eyes widen at the name
a picture, some words

he never heard from her
six months maybe more
and now, this

her smile is genuine in the picture
behind the wheel
eyes puffy
he wants to be in the passenger seat

his eyes are glazed
he hears the backdoor open

(dreaming love)
