Finally, near midnight, his phone buzzed first.
Sophia:
Did you arrive safely?
His chest tightened instantly.
Liam stared at the screen before replying.
Yeah. I’m okay.
A few seconds passed.
I miss hearing your voice already, she sent.
Liam swallowed hard.
He shouldn’t have smiled.
But he did.
From that night on, they started texting almost every day.
At first it was innocent — asking if he had eaten, reminding him to sleep, checking on his classes. But slowly, the conversations became deeper.
More personal.
