ITS 11:30PM, and Walker told me he'd call me in 30 minutes if Lauren was asleep by then. Thankfully this spare time has given me a lot of minutes to finish a few of my main sketches.

I'm playing Paper Rings by Taylor Swift in the background while I sketch. I hum along to the lyrics quietly.

I finish my sketch and I'm pretty happy with it. I'll show Walker when he calls me and ask what he thinks of it.

The clock hits midnight, and I sit at my phone, awaiting the call from Walker. I frown when I reach 12:05, assuming he would've called me already.

When it hits 12:15, I finally receive a call. It's Walker.

"I'm sorry, Summer." He mumbles, "I know I'm so late, but Lauren took a few minutes to fall asleep and now I'm up in my room."

"It's okay," I reply, smiling at him. "Happy New Year."

"Yeah," he sighs, "it's crazy that it's 2024. It feels so weird."

I laugh and I tell him I agree. Paris by Sabrina carpenter is now playing from my Alexa, and I smile as Walker recognizes the song.

"This is Sabrina Carpenter, right?" He asks, and I nod. "Yeah. Lauren told me about her and I like a few of her songs."

"I keep forgetting you know Lauren, it's like you two are from different worlds. But yeah, Lauren plays Sabrina every second of every day that she's around me, so I know just about every song." Walker jokes, "what's your favorite song by her?"

"Probably how many things because of— nevermind." I mumble, "I just really like the song in general, but I also relate to it a lot. Yknow? Like even if I stop relating to it it's still gonna be one of my favorites."

He nods. "Yeah, I understand."

He puts his phone down for a second and goes to grab something. When he comes back, he's holding a paper of some sort in his hand.

He puts his phone up against something and shows me what he's holding. It's one of my sketches.

"Walker, how did—"
