Dating : One Night Out Can Change Your Life

“Just one night out. We’ve been good for months and never went out. We just need this one night to keep us sane. I promise I won’t drag you out again.”

Kayla’s eagerness was beginning to burst through the phone. I had a terrible feeling about stepping out. I knew I wasn’t overreacting.

As I stuttered “no,” she abruptly hung up without any more begging.

It was weeks since I last heard from her.

Her mother’s voice was shaking when she called me, hinting that it wasn’t getting better.

The virus was eating her up.

I knew I wasn’t overreacting.
