My phone vibrated with an incoming text.

I pulled it from my pocket, swiping at the screen.

Mai

Distract me from my fear and doubts by brainstorming team names. I’ll start. I’m in favor of “Sew Good”

Chuckling, I hit reply.

Theo

How about “Stitched up”?

I smiled wryly, awaiting her response. This whole thing felt like a disaster just waiting to happen—and yet, I had a suspicion it might be exactly what I needed to break out of the monotonous routine I’d fallen into. Sure, I had no idea what the fuck I was doing, but somehow that made it even more appealing. The thought of diving into something so far outside my comfort zone felt good.

Mai’s reply didn’t disappoint.

Mai

Haute Mess Express

Chuckling, I shot back another response.

Theo

Seam Dream Team

Mai

The Unthreadables

Ready to out-pun her, I kicked off my shoe and flopped onto my couch, pleased to find the restless feeling Linc had stirred up had settled—at least for now.

Mai

How was your date?

Theo

The guy was nice but we agreed we’d be better off as buddies

Mai

Ouch!

Theo

Indeed. I am really letting down the bisexual stereotype. So greedy and yet I can’t land a partner to save my life

Mai

You’re the Oliver Twist of bisexuals

Theo
