Content

“I just don’t get it,” Tess confided, frustration etched on her face, “I genuinely thought we hit it off, you know? So why hasn’t she messaged me back? I mean, sure, she had to leave early, but that’s because something else came up. It sucks, but it happens.”Tess glanced at Lydia.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and providing such lovely feedback, AnneMarie! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
Way too believable and relatable lol lovely writing Melissa!
Thanks, Derrick! :)
I LOVED this story, Melissa! You captured awkward social dialogue magnificently. (I felt so embarrassed for Tess when she said "I'm Emma". *wince*). I would totally be friends with Tess (my neuro-divergent son and I ask each other questions like "what's your least-favorite word?" all the time! ) 😃
Thank you, Janet! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know all about social awkwardness myself, so I could use a lot from my own experiences, haha!
Enjoyable and engaging story. You ably showed what a minefield dating can be, even more so here. Glad the MC met someone she seemed able to make a connection with.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
