Relief
The familiar icon popped up and grabbed my attention away from the article I was reading. An incoming message.
It was her. I was surprised that she would have initiated. The exchange, while short, was pretty light-hearted, which took me by surprise as well. That it bordered almost on deadpan certainly disarmed me. There was a sense of normalcy, and the words flowed free.
When the conversation had ended, I felt a surge of relief. Somehow, all the self-imposed worries, fears and doubts had been placated by our exchange. I did not think that we would be talking like that anytime soon.
And I was glad.
