WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.760 Hey there. These are those stories  that are never told. Those stories   00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:23.680 that I just felt. Those stories that I  always remembered but played in silence. 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:36.800 So 3 days later I get a text says hi and and  I was like wow. Then I go like hi had a safe   00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:45.840 flight to Netherlands and uh he says  no I didn't leave. I'm still around. 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.920 Oh my goodness. I go like I I go quiet  because I don't know what to say. 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.520 Then he says, "Um, I can't  stop think about Wednesday. 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.120 This is at 11:03 p.m. and my phone has just lit  up like it knows where this doctor is coming   00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:17.520 from." I read it five times. I typed me too,  then deleted it. I typed same then deleted it.   00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:29.280 I stared at the ceiling for 10 minutes before  I wrote back. What part? He replied so fast.   00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:38.000 The way you laughed at nothing. The way the  night felt unfinished. My chest got tight   00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.400 because it was unfinished. We'd said  goodbye like we'd see each other the   00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:53.680 next week, not like he was leaving the  country. So he goes like dinner Friday 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.680 before I really fly out if you're free that is. 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:06.160 if I'm free. I said to myself, I  canled everything. Then I responded,   00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:19.680 um, yes. And for two days, so it was just  what it was that evening. I I am wondering,   00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:35.520 oh my god, what do I wear? I I I felt so nervous.  In fact, even more nervous than the previous date. 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:46.400 I was trying to replay Wednesday, wondering if now  Friday was a beginning or just a better ending. 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:55.200 So, we're in the same corner seat, same  bar, but the air was heavier. He ordered   00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:03.280 it for me without asking. She takes hers dry.  He remembered it again. He looked at me longer   00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:12.640 between sentences. He laughed quieter  like we were already keeping a secret. 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:26.480 Then uh he walked me out same street, called an  Uber. He hagged me longer this time. And right   00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:36.480 when I pulled away, right before I got in the  taxi, he said it. The thing I wasn't ready for,   00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:45.040 the thing that made me sit in that  box seat crying all the way home. 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:51.360 Let's meet on Soft Confessions episode 3. See you.
