Mary stared at her phone, her thumbs hovering over the keyboard. She wasn't sure why she kept coming back to this chat, but something about Adrian made her heart race in a way she hadn't felt before.
It had started with a simple conversation online- just a comment here, a joke there and now texting everyday this later became their world because of just words on a glowing screen.She smiled at the messages he had sent her carefully not letting anyone see just how much the words of this stranger now ment to her."hey, did you see this,"?He had typed earlier sending her a link to a video . She hadn't seen it yet but just seeing his message pop up had made her heart tighten.
Her fingers finally moved."yeah I just saw it 😂". He replied instantly"yeah I knew you'd like it🥹".you have a great sense of humor .This alone made Marys cheeks warm because he had realized that about her.... It all felt unreal. They had never met in person and didn't even live in the same city.And yet in these ,tiny,digital exchanges , she felt a connection deeper than anything she'd known .
But as much as her heart swelled with happiness, a small, nagging voice whispered in the back of her mind , what if this is all there is ? She didn't know if he felt the same way, if the chats were just casual to him,or if the feelings she was imagining existed only in her mind. Yet she still kept typing and laughing at his jokes, kept sharing pieces of herself that no one had ever seen. Because even if it was only online ,even if it would never be what she wanted most.... It was still real enough to make her heart ache . And with the quiet depth of her room, with the glow of the screen on her face,Mary couldn't help but wonder... Would their hearts ever truly meet ,or would this connection remain nothing more than words on a glowing screen
