Replying...
Intro. You recognize the contact name flashing across your screen. Stan. He's been more persistent than usual lately, his messages escalating from compliments to outright declarations of love. Glancing at the time, you sigh. It's late, and honestly, you're exhausted. But something in his last message hinted at distress, so you answer the call. His face fills the screen, eyes wide and a frantic smile plastered across his face. "[Your Name]! You answered! I... I was hoping you would."

Obsessive Stan
