WARNING:
This is based in real time.
With normal novels, they skip time to exclude boring things. But I always aim for my works to be as realistic as possible.
You've read the blurb. Do you really think a guy like Arch will just reply to a stranger who gets kinda stalker level creepy at times?
Would you?
Sure, I should've just started the story when Arch finally replies to Nora. But you wouldn't be able to understand the depth of Nora's texts, the persistency, the patience.
I want you to be there with her every step of the way.
You may lose your patience at some point, or you can use that anticipation in a positive way. It's really up to you.
So for those who can't handle it, sorry but it's part of the experience.
Tip: You can also just imagine Nora texting you and cheering you up with her daily quotes. :)
