Good and believable dialog

I like the conflict with the boyfriend - some relationships just end - but we hold onto them longer than needed.


I would consider deleting this description as you just addressed her with this in the line above just say "she
that (my roommate and good friend) was referring to.

He was tall, with brownish hair shaved into a high and tight and light eyes _ I think there are some words missing in this sentence

Prose, both narrative and dialog, are excellent and the tale moves along with excellent pace. The slight intrigue and obvious future encounter is well done.

There are a few error in this story. First off Thursday should be capitalized. Second the text messages look too much like sentences. I mean, who spells out you when they are texting when they can just type u? Besides that the story is great.

    Thanks for reading and commenting! It's funny - I actually text the way I wrote here. It's a personal pet peeve of mine when people don't spell out their words while texting, and I feel like nowadays most people do spell everything out due to autocorrect most smart phones have. However, I actually like the idea of Tyler texting the way you described, as I think it fits his character. Thanks again!
