The Emotional Cost of Endless Swiping
She had planned to stay overnight in her old student town but she was homesick, so she cancelled the hotel Fredric had arranged.
On the contrary, they had had a great time together and she felt that she really had a friend in him.
The steps were light on the way home to the apartment.
It had started to rain a little, but it was a warm rain and she let the drops land on her face which she liked.
Maybe she even liked it a lot.
She put the key in the lock and opened the door with the intention of giving him her wet face and more, but when she entered the hall she heard that someone else was already doing just that.

She listened intently for a few seconds before she exploded and went straight into the bedroom where the woman was lying.
The woman he was with the last time she saw him with someone else.
The woman in the photo that Clair had sent.
Fredric looked completely perplexed and a life collapsed in a few seconds.
It took Nikki the same amount of time to gather what she needed for a few nights somewhere else.
Fredric was a closed chapter forever.
But on the other hand.
