Anh: Where the hell are you
                    Anh: OLIVE

                    Anh: OLIVE LOUISE SMITH
                    Anh: (JK I know you don’t have a middle name)

                    Anh:  (But  if  you  did  it  would  be  Louise  FIGHT  ME  you  know  im

                right)
                    Anh: Where ARE U?!?!?

                    Anh: Your missing so much YOU ARE MISSING SO

                    Anh: WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR ROOM I’M COMING TO YOU
                    Anh: OL we need to talk about this IN PERSON!!!!!1!!!!!!!!

                    Anh: Are you DEAD?

                    Anh: You better be IT’S THE ONLY WAY I’LL FORGIVE YOU FOR
                MISSING THIS OL

                    Anh: Ol is this real life is iT jUST FANTASY SJFGAJHSGFASF
                    Anh: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
                    Olive  groaned,  rubbed  her  face,  and  decided  to  skip  the  other  125
                messages and text Anh her room number. She went into the bathroom and

                reached for her toothbrush, trying not to notice that the spot where Adam’s
                had been was now empty. Whatever Anh was freaking out about, Olive was
                likely  going  to  be  underwhelmed.  Jeremy  had  Irish  step-danced  at  the

                department social, or Chase had tied a cherry stem with his tongue. Great
                entertainment value, for sure, but Olive would survive missing either.

                    She  dried  her  face,  thinking  that  she  was  doing  a  great  job  of  not
                thinking of how sore she was; of how her body was buzzing, vibrating like
                it had no intention of stopping, not two, not three, not five hours from now;

                of the faint, comforting scent of Adam on her skin.
                    Yeah. A great job.

                    When she stepped out of the bathroom, someone was about to tear down
                the  door.  She  opened  it  to  find  Anh  and  Malcolm,  who  hugged  her  and

                started talking so loudly and rapidly, she could barely make out the words—
                though  she  did  catch  the  terms  “paradigm-shifting,”  “life-altering,”  and

                “watershed moment in history.”
