Okay, I admit I'm not the best when it comes to technology but I'm seriously running out of patience here! All I want to do is text someone! I was able to text them before but then I changed their name in my phone and now I can't AND IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T GET NEAR CERTAIN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THESE BRANDS BUT IF I CAN'T TEXT SOMEONE NOW EXPLODING PRISONS ARE GONNA BE THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.

[Darin takes a deep, steadying breath. Normally, the person he would go to for tech support is Zelda. A person he cannot presently go anywhere near. So now he's the network's problem.]

Look. Okay. I just. I need someone to look at my contacts and tell me if I screwed something up. Because I don't know what I did. I just changed one contact. I change contact names all the time! All the time!

LOOK. HERE.

I cannot know everything about technology which hasn't been invented yet in my world.

Did you not think to look at the image before posting this for all to see? Although, the damage is likely not at dire as you make it out to be. Your query about beds had already put the idea in most minds.

[ Dear Lord, Darin. Sharing the same bed has a certain other connotation. ]

Perhaps prematurely but the end result is the same. The two of you are together.

[ So, should he expect the engagement announcement soon? ]
