The concert had been breathtaking. The music still seemed to vibrate within Elias's chest. He practically skipped down the street, humming along to an imaginary tune. "Absolutely incredible show! Best night ever! ❤️" he typed, then sent it off. He expected a response from his friend, but instead, an unknown number replied, "Glad you enjoyed it. Who is this?"

Elias froze. He stared at the screen, a silly grin etched on his face. The stranger’s confusion only added to his amusement. He shook his head, typing back, “Sorry! Wrong number! But seriously, AMAZING concert!” He chuckled, and continued to skip down the sidewalk.
