THE LAST TEXT I SENT
The Last Text I Sent The phone buzzed on the counter, its screen glowing like a beacon in the dim kitchen. I ignored it. My hands were wrist-deep in dishwater, scrubbing a pan caked with last night’s lasagna. The buzz came again, insistent, like a wasp trapped in a jar. I dried my hands on a towel, the rough fabric catching on my cracked skin, and glanced at the screen.
