Logan

What do you mean by that?

Me

I just ordered a bunch. If you’ve got food, you can hide it in some of the toys to make it a fun game for him. It’ll keep him distracted for hours

Logan

Is it any wonder you rule the world?

I laugh out loud.

Me

I don’t know about that. I rule my own universe, that’s about it

The gray bubble appears, then disappears.

I don’t know why disappointment fills me when he doesn’t reply.

It’s only when I’m getting out of the bath that I hear my phone again almost forty minutes later.

I smile when I see the photo of Dozer with a Konga ball in his mouth—the one you hide treats in—and his new toy by his side.

Logan

Dozer thanks you. He also loves his new penguin

Logan

You didn’t have to do that

Logan

But thanks

Me

Any time

The gray dots do their thing again and I sigh when I read his next text:

Logan

Goodnight, Payden

I tap out a reply, wishing I didn’t feel so damn lonely. I need to snap out of this.

Me

Goodnight, Loges

He doesn’t even chastise me for the jab, and I go to bed wishing I could snuggle up next to them both.
