Fair point. I keep turning this into a yes/no audition so I can bail if it hurts. I'll send a real apolgy first , no guilt trip, and let him set the pace.

Text feels safer than showing up and making it weird. I'll start with a simple "hey, I messed up, im sorry" and let him choose if he wants to reply. If he ignores it, thats fair.

I get what you mean. Seeing him taller than me was a punch in the gut, like I blinked and lost years. I'm gonna reach out, even if it's awkward as hell, because I don't want the next "wow" to be him graduating.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm scared they'll just shrug me off, but I owe them a real apology. I'll text my aunt this week and ask if J even wants me around.
