Her fingers trembled as she clicked on his profile. He looked... older. Fatter, even. A picture of him, standing awkwardly beside a minivan, a receding hairline doing him no favors. A wave of something akin to bubbly fizzy water coursed through her. She felt like she could fly.

"Well, well, well," she muttered to herself, a wide grin stretching across her face. Time to craft the perfect reply.
