Page 54 of The Blind Date

Looking back, sneaking out of my apartment while Cedric was still asleep was a pretty cowardly thing to do. However, if I could turn back time and go back to that moment, I was sure I would do the same thing which didn't help me gain much clarity on the situation.

Thoughts of last night played on my mind for the whole day. I was still undecided if I regretted sleeping with him, but I did acknowledge that we crossed a line last night. One line which we couldn’t tiptoe back over.

Six o'clock eventually rolled around, and my phone started blowing up with messages from my friends.

Victor:

Saffron Cyprus Remington

Don’t tell me you forgot our plans

We’re all here at Lainey and Toby’s already

Lainey:

Saff, where are you?

I’ve got a strawberry daiquiri here with your name on it

Desmond:

I bet Saff’s still at work

Sophia:

Girl, you work yourself too much

Log off that fancy computer of yours and get your cute little butt down here

Come and have fun with us!

Lainey:

If you don’t come drink this strawberry daiquiri, then I will

Toby:

Saff, please come drink this strawberry daiquiri

Lainey’s had three already

One more, and she'll pass out before the end of the hour

Saffron:

Sorry guys

I lost track of time

I’ll be there in half an hour

Lainey:

A minute more, and I'm going to get out the Sambuca alarm

Toby:

Oh God!
