Taking a glance at her parents, Melanie opened the message and read—
'How is your vacation going so far?'
'Good,' Melanie replied to his text.
'Did you have your dinner?'
'Eating,' and Melanie added, 'You?'
After hitting send, she wondered when they started talking to each other as friends?
'I have been in the infirmary since this morning, and I am sick.'
Reading it, Melanie frowned. She replied to him, 'I thought you can't fall sick.'
It took a minute before she received a message from him again. And this time, his message read—
'Of course, I can fall sick. Mel-sick.'
Melanie stared at the message for a few seconds. She would have never thought that Simon could be this cheesy. And what did he mean Mel-sick?! Blood rushed up to her neck, and she hoped it didn't reach her cheeks. Her mother interrupted her thoughts, "Everything alright, Mel?"
