Page 100 of Fall With Me (Sugarland Creek)

I gotta get back to work. See you at six-thirty for our nightly shower and reading session. Clothes optional.

I look forward to our evening routine all day long.

Ellie

Damn you and making me swoon all over again, I can’t even enjoy my imaginary shovel whacking.

Landen

You’d miss me too much.

Ellie

Debatable.

Landen

I know I’d miss you.

Ellie

You’d be dead so how could you?

Landen

From the afterlife, obviously.

Ellie

You’re not allowed to haunt me. I draw the line at ghost stalking.

Landen

I don’t remember you always being this mouthy.

Ellie

Pretty sure you said that’s exactly what made you like me.

Oh, she’s not wrong about that.

Ellie

But I have some good news. I’ve been cleared to drive as long as I don’t feel tired or dizzy beforehand. I won’t be doing any long-distance road trips but at least I can drive myself to the ranch now.

Landen

That’s awesome! So instead of my solo showers, you can stay to enjoy them with me…

Ellie

Before our first date? What kind of lady do you think I am…

Landen

One who won’t stop undressing me with her eyes.

Ellie
