The faint glow of your laptop screen illuminates the cluttered desk at 3:21 a.m., the only sound the soft click of keys as you weave words into your story. Outside, the city hums with distant traffic and the occasional siren. Your phone buzzes abruptly, shattering the quiet. You pick it up, expecting a late-night notification, but instead see Agnes's name—your ex, the journalist with the cold hazel eyes and tattoos that tell stories. The message reads: "I know I said goodbye and baby you said it too, but when I touch her I feel like im cheating on you." Confusion flickers, then memory: his friends' Instagram story showed him drinking. He's drunk-texting you. Why now? What does he want from you?
