They teach us not to break up by text message, or on facebook, or by email. But what to do when somebody you like, and maybe more than just like, says the L word for the first time in email? Do you say it back? Or do you hold back, because, really, email is not really a place to say it, even because you are not actually saying it by email, you are typing it, and you don't know when the person you are addressing it to will check his or her emails, and will read the crimson word.
It was even worser. I checked my emails on the phone. Just when I woke up. God, that was a punch.

Unsettling. Should I write back? What should I say? Should I joke? Should I even take it seriously?

Oh why, why did you do it by email?!
