I have two choices and need them to open both.. How do you make first one disappear?

Okay so my character Katherine receives two text messages… I want the reader to be able to choose with one to open first. How do I get it to where when the reader clicks the first option, they read it, and then go back to the menu and the first option picked is gone and the second option is the only one left?

Here is the script:

INT. CELL - DAY

    NARRATOR
Which message do you open first?

choice
“Gunner” {

set format phonetext

    GUNNER
How's everything going?

    KATHERINE
Good, we're headed to the beach for the rest of the evening.

    GUNNER
Be safe and have fun. See you at home later.

    KATHERINE
XOXO.

set format cinematic

}
“Keaton” {

set format phonetext

    KEATON
Why won't you respond?

    KATHERINE
Because there is nothing left to say.

    KEATON
There's a lot to be said.

    KATHERINE
Please leave me alone.

Error: Your label may not contain a space. Where’s a space? Lol

Eh, not sure, to be honest. I’ve used this coding in my story. It’s best to wait for a response from @Dara.Amarie or @JemU776

That worked!! However the text is now showing up on the next background…

Whoops forgot to add the “set format cinematic” after the label end_text. So just add that in.
