She‘s not texting back. Ok. Did I do something wrong? I can‘t remember. Did she get my message wrong? I mean I can see she saw my message. Did she just forget to answer? Was she busy? Did I upset her? I shouldn‘t have used that emoji, maybe she thought I was making fun of her. I should send another message to ensure her I wasn‘t making fun of her. That may remind her to answer. But what if she wouldn‘t reply though? Am I constraining her? Maybe my insecurity is annoying her. I should stop. Or did something happen to her? Is she ok? She normally replies right away, even if it was just an emoji. I should ask if she‘s fine. Perhaps she had an accident. I should call her mom. But if she‘s ok she’d probably think I‘m stalking her. I shouldn‘t call her mom. I hope she is fine. I can not lose her. Oh, nevermind. She just replied with a smiley.
