Sam was sitting at her desk, lost in her own thoughts when the computer in front of her beeped.

She clicked a few times and a message came up

From: p. s. r u ok?

Message:

Sam looked up from her computer screen and felt even worse. She thought for a moment before she replied.

From: s. p. I'm fine

Message:

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired that's all.

S x

Sam saw Phil look at his computer screen and begin to type again.

Obviously that wasn't what she wanted to write, but she couldn't say what was really wrong with her.

She sighed as her computer beeped again.

From: p. s. Ok

Message:

Ok then, I'm working on a theft.

Boring stuff reli,

So wot r u doing at lunch?

P x

Sam knew what he was going to ask her next and she would like to say yes, but she felt a bit awkward about spending time with him now that he was going to leave, but she didn't want to let on to anyone about how she felt.

From: s. p. why?

Message:

Not much, but need caffeine.

Why?

S x

Phil sat for a few minutes talking to Terry about the burglary case they were working on and thought for a while before he answered.

He couldn't understand what was going on.

She had been off with him all day.

Would she even want to spend time with him?

He just didn't know anymore, but he thought he might as well try anyway.

From: p. s. lunch?

Message:

Well I was wondering if u would like 2 come 2 lunch with me,

P x

Sam looked at her screen and sighed heavily, she was now dreading lunch.

She couldn't say no because then he would know something was wrong.

From: s. p. ok

Message:

Ok then, I'll meet u at 12 outside the station.

Sam saw Phil grin to himself as he started to type, when a beep was heard again.

From: p. s. great

Message:
