    Keep your reply short and sweet to politely answer their question without implying too much. This is great for days when you don’t feel like having a text conversation or just aren’t in the mood to talk.

    • “That’s kind of you to ask! I slept well.”
    • “Okay! It’s so nice of you to ask.”
    • “Alright. Thanks for reaching out!”
    • “Pretty good! I appreciate you asking.

    • “Dreaming of you made it incredible.”
    • “I slept like a baby. I kept dreaming about you.”

    • “It was fine, but nothing compares to falling asleep in your arms.”
