"When I'd texted him to say I wouldn't need a ride, he'd replied with an empty 'OK.'  I didn't know what I'd expected him to say, but tears itched at my eyes.  I'm a basket case, I thought.  Who gets emotional over two letters?  But then I remembered that 'no' also has only two letters.  Almost everyone in the world has cried over those."
