Yes

You set your phone down on your bedside table, before going onto your computer and putting on a movie. The cough medicine that Lisa had given you was kicking in, helping break up the congestion that was in your nose, although you were still prone to some sneezing fits. The air in your room was a bit stuffy, so as the movie droned on in the background, you opened your curtains and window, letting a white-hot ray of sunshine enter your room. You stood in the window frame for a second, basking in the heat and trying to photosynthesize enough to spike your energy, before turning around to go back into bed.

As you sat back down onto the bed to watch the movie, your phone buzzed a few times. Picking it up, you saw Natalie had sent you a flurry of messages.

"LOL - I can't imagine. Some of my coworkers are the horniest people on the planet."

"I'm glad that you decided to message me back. I just moved down from Laville and it's been a total adventure."

"Anyways, would you want to maybe meet up sometime? Maybe we could go to a climbing gym or something, and then get some food after?"

You sat there, staring at the blinking text on your screen, before responding.

"Yeah, it got weird the second that I opened up the phone. But I guess that's just how it goes, right? I'd love to meet you! I'm free today, albeit a little bit under the weather, so as long as you're okay with me being a little lethargic we can get some food."

Natalie instantly responded again.

"Well, I mean, I don't blame anyone for trying. You're super cute :) And yay! There's a climbing gym in downtown that I've been going to - want to meet there, maybe? And don't worry about being sick - I am a doctor after all ;)"

Her cheery personality shone through on her messages, enough to put you at ease for the time being, although that could just be the medicine you took a few moments earlier. You wrote up a quick message back to her, giving her your phone number and setting up a time in a few hours to meet up at the gym.

A few moments later, your phone buzzed with Natalie's number.

"Looking forward to our climbing session! Wear something sporty like this so you can move around a bit :) - N"
