[108 fountains]

Outgoing 7:11 p.m.
Hey rick, I'm sitting in my favorite dc bar with a blue moon and listening to tommy james crimson and clover. Remember that?

Incoming 7:14 p.m.
Reminds me of Cathy Korte's basement birthday party in 8th grade. Kissing Mona for the first time.

Outgoing 7:15 p.m.
Ah, mona. I almost forgot how jealous I was of you.

Incoming 7:16 p.m.
I see her in town sometimes. Do you want me to tell her how much you were in love with her? I bet she'd get a kick out of it now 45 years later.

Outgoing 10:32 p.m.
Nah

The long gap between the last two messages says it all. Very nicely and subtly done.

I agree with Calidore - that pause in the texting was a beautiful touch.

Believe it or not I recently lived almost exactly the same experience you depict in your story.
