Which is how I came to be in Denver this weekend, standing in the concourse at the DIA arrivals to surprise Bryn with a weekend together.

Bryn

Just landed! How goes the time with Ryan?

Ryan, who’s been my caddie for the last four years, and I have been in Arizona the last two days, playing golf from sunup to sundown. We were supposed to be there all this weekend as well, but when Ryan mentioned he might be coming down with a cold this morning, I jumped at the excuse to cancel the rest of the trip. Health is very important. And fuck, do I need to see my girl.

Me

Call me when you get to the main terminal. I have something I want to show you.

Bryn

Is it going to be a dick pic? You know how I feel about airport dick pics.

Me

I said call. Obviously I would just send you that as a picture, hence the name dick PIC.

Wait, are you saying you’d be up for dick FaceTimes if they aren’t in the airport?

BRYN! Inquiring minds need to know the answer.

And now I have a half-stiffy thinking about us using FaceTime for sexy time.

Update, it’s now a full-on erection.

My phone buzzes, Bryn’s FaceTime coming through.

“Hey, babe!” My smile is so large, my cheeks can barely hold on to it.

“Hey, sexy—where are you?” I hear her voice, both over my earbuds and from the group just getting off the escalator in front of me.

I pull my hat down, confirming I’m as incognito as possible, and shout, “Bryn!”

I see her then, pulling her navy-blue carry-on behind her as she scans the room. I start making my way toward her, reminding myself not to run. “Bryn!”

She sees me, and fuck if her smile doesn’t make me light up like a goddamn suburban house at Christmastime. I reach her in three more steps and pull her into a tight hug, kissing the top of her head before nuzzling her fully against my body.

“Hey, Jameo,” she whispers into my chest. “I missed you.”

I tighten my arms around her, not able to let her go yet. “I missed you, too, baby.”

After far too short of a time, in my opinion, she pulls back, flashing me another brilliant smile. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in Arizona.”

I shrug, pulling her in again for a chaste kiss on the lips, ever aware that someone could recognize me at any time. “I missed you.”

“So you’re here for the…night?”

“Nope. The whole weekend. If you’re good with it, I actually got us a room at The Brown Palace downtown, thinking maybe we could spend the weekend together?”

“That sounds amazing. Let me just shoot Kelsey a text to make sure she’s good to watch Jack for a few more days, but I’m sure Izzy or my dad can always go grab him if not.”

We make our way out of the airport, walking in the below-freezing temperatures to reach her car in the outdoor parking lot.

“When am I going to get to meet your parents, anyway?” I ask.

She pops her shoulders. “Whenever you want to. You’ll like them. They’re genuinely fun people to be around. A lot like your folks, actually.”
