“Robert Pattinson.”

“You’re mean! I wanted to see that one too!”

It went quiet on his side.

Was he planning to leave me on “read”?

Not a chance.

“I know where you live. I’m coming over.”

It didn’t take long before my phone rang. I answered with a smile.

“You can’t come over,” he hissed into the phone. “Got it? It’s not happening!”

“Hi, babe,” I said casually.

“Kil! Please!”

“I don’t know what your problem is. You’ve seen my place. What’s the big deal?”

“Too soon,” he said sharply.

“What? That I saw yours, or you saw mine? Seemed like my bed was just your type.”

“I just don’t want to rush things, okay?”

I sighed loudly and paced around. “Fine, if you’re going to make a drama out of it, it’s not even fun anymore.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Where are you? I hear cars in the background.”

“Uh … I don’t know,” I replied, scanning my surroundings. “Some rest stop near Bern. The cops just pulled me over.”

“What? Are you in trouble?”

“No? Don’t worry. Aww … You’re worried about me!”

“What’s wrong with me?” he said, playing it off. “I must be crazy.”

“See you tomorrow? At rehearsal?”

“Yeah. Drive safely.”

“Yeah, yeah,” I muttered, but deep down, I was happy that he cared about my well-being.

Feeling a surge of energy, I headed back to Zurich.

As much as I’d been looking forward to seeing Kilian on Tuesday, I was disappointed that we barely had any time for each other. We tried to have lunch together, but even then, I didn’t have him all to myself.

Instead, I got to meet Yaël, his older sister. It was fun watching how they interacted and noticing the similarities in their features.
