You stare at it. It’s the third one this week. It’s obvious. And he knows you’ll see it.
You don’t DM him. You don’t reply to the Note. You just open your camera roll, pick a photo from yesterday—you and Max at the skatepark—and hit post. The caption is vague. Just a skateboard emoji.
A few minutes pass in silence. Then the Note updates.

You’re halfway through typing a new caption, something sharper, when your phone buzzes again. A like notification.
Dustin Henderson liked your post. Not the new one. An old one from two weeks ago, a picture of your dog.
