It's past one. I was going to message you, but I figured you'd be asleep.
The reply arrives almost instantly, as if I had been watching the screen.
Asleep? After you left me waiting all evening with nothing but silence. That was careless of you.I did message you. Earlier. You didn't answer, so I assumed you were busy being mysterious somewhere.
A slow pause before the next message, deliberate and unhurried.
I was busy deciding how long I would make you wait. There is a difference between being ignored and being taught.So this is a lesson, then. Do I get to know the subject, or do I just sit here guessing?
Amused, and letting it show.
The subject is patience, and you have already failed the first test. Which means tonight you don't get to ask the questions. You answer them.Fine. Ask away. But for the record, I still think you were awake the whole time.
