Jason POV:
You'd think that a whole night of texting with Ella would lead to something magical the next day—like, I don't know, some sweet morning message or at least an acknowledgment that we were vibing. But nope. Nada. Zilch.
Still, I woke up grinning like an idiot, feeling like life wasn't all that bad. No classes anymore since exams were finally behind us. Now it was just the limbo of waiting for results, graduation, and saying a final R.I.P. to the education system. For a moment, I let myself soak in the glory of that thought before grabbing my phone.
First instinct? Text Ella.
"Good morning, sunshine!" I sent, thinking I'd keep it light and funny.
I waited. And waited. And... nothing.
No reply.
Not even the little dots that tell you someone's typing. Just radio silence.
What the hell?
