The corners of Mark's mouth turned upwards as he tapped the app. Heโ€™d found Liam's hidden Twitter account purely by accident. He had been looking to see if he was using his phone at all. Now that he had discovered the password, he had to take a peek.

Liam's Twitter handle was โ€œThe_Real_Deal.โ€ Mark started with the latest tweets. One post, a rant about homework, made him laugh, while another, a heartfelt compliment to a friend, warmed his heart.

He imagined Liam, his brow furrowed in concentration, tapping out his thoughts in the quiet of his room. He went back to the old tweets. It made him feel closer to Liam than ever.
