Love wasn't in the message. It was in the reply

Lucy never meant to send that message to a stranger.

It was meant for someone else?someone she'd quietly loved from afar for far too long. But instead of silence or mockery, the accidental text gets a response. And not just any response?one that's kind, curious, and surprisingly easy to talk to.

Matt didn't expect anything unusual when he checked his phone that day. But the unexpected message from a mystery sender turns into late-night conversations he begins to look forward to more than he'd like to admit.

As their anonymous bond deepens, Lucy faces a choice: keep hiding behind the comfort of a screen or risk everything by telling the truth.

Delete or Reply? is a warm, modern romance about mistaken messages, honest moments, and finding connection in unexpected places. A sweet, heartfelt short story perfect for fans of texting love stories, quiet emotional chemistry, and clean romantic novellas.
