It was almost 2 AM when your phone buzzed.

You glanced at the screen, expecting a notification, but instead there was a text from an unknown number.

Unknown: You home?

You: I think you have the wrong number.

You: Yes… you do.

A few seconds went by.

Unknown: Then who is this?

You: Someone you weren’t supposed to text.

His answer came quickly.

Unknown: Interesting
