Evan Roberts

Afterwards, Evan felt like he was walking around in a fog.

Almost immediately, Keith got into a different, very serious relationship.

Which has only further puzzled Evan.

They'd both moved on.

Why not become friends now?

But Evan's reached out a couple times over the years, and Keith has always been chilly.

It's vexed Evan so long it's become a joke with his friends.

One of them was in Keith's neighborhood recently and texted Evan about it.

His friend joked that he should go take a selfie in front of Keith's house.

Evan looked up Keith's address on his computer, copied and pasted it into a text to his friend, hit send.

Then he realized he had accidentally texted Keith's address to Keith.

I screamed when Evan told me this.

He thinks he saved it by quickly editing the text to a period, pretending it was an accidental butt text.

Did you know you can edit texts on an iPhone?

I didn't.

Recently, he wrote to Keith one last time, asking if he would talk.

They talk over Zoom, Keith calling in from Brooklyn.

I'm with Evan in his apartment in San Francisco, sitting at his dining room table.

You sound good, too.

It takes a minute for them to figure out where to start.
