At noon, I picked up Oliver from school and took a photo with him at a dessert shop near the school.
I deliberately showed off Oliver's well-defined arm muscles and captioned it on Instagram: [Warm coffee, warm as the palm of your hand.]
I just wanted to annoy Theo for not talking to me for so long!
I wanted him to know that I'm not just any ordinary woman. There are plenty of people pursuing me.
But when I posted it on Instagram, Theo didn't immediately send me a questioning message like he used to on WhatsApp.
Instead, a lot of my good friends liked it, and several asked me where I was, but none of them were from Theo.
Instead of feeling relieved, I suddenly felt a sense of loss in my heart.
It's like accidentally losing something very important.
I held my phone and stared blankly, it took me a while to react when Oliver called me.
"Irvin, what are you daydreaming about?" Oliver reached out and lifted my chin, turning my face towards him.
"What are you doing!" I shook off Oliver's hand and suddenly felt repulsed by his face.
The whole afternoon, Theo ignored me, as if he hadn't seen my Instagram.
