Feeling Hannah nestled against him once again was a joy beyond words, a sensation so intense he wanted to shout it from the rooftops. Brimming with happiness, Steven reached for his phone and sent a message in their four-person WhatsApp group, [Anyone still awake?]
As usual, the only immediate reply was from Zavier, [What's up now?]
Steven texted back, [Hannah has lifted my exile. She's even letting me stay the night.]
Zavier responded with an eye-roll emoji before adding, [You're not the Steven I know. When did you become so demeaning?]
Steven replied, [I'll do anything to win my wife back. I'd even kneel in the pouring rain for days like in those Hollywood movies. This is nothing.]
Zavier simply texted back, [Huh.]d2
Steven asked, [What are you doing up this late?]
Zavier replied, [Drinking.]
Steven advised, [Don't drink too much. It's bad for you.]
Zavier didn't respond.
Meanwhile, Lucas sent a string of emojis.
Steven asked, [Why are you still up?]
Lucas replied, [Got drunk with my father-in-law tonight. I can't sleep.]
