My screen opened to the new conversation on the app, and my eyebrows shot up at the other person’s message.

Unknown

Hello. Having a good night so far?

I dropped my phone between my legs, then stretched my hands to take my shoes off before throwing them on the floor. My fingers grabbed a hold of the blanket on the other side of the couch and dragged it over me after taking my phone in the other hand.

The reply was actually something I liked. He’s respectful, continuing the conversation on the same path I started, and was smart enough to act like he cared about what I did tonight.

Good start. He had a green check so far.

Me

you don’t want to know *sweat smile emoji*

I sent the message and instantly typed another when I realized that he might think I was playing hard-to-get.

me

tell me more about you

My phone pinged with a new message and my stomach did a little twirl.

Unknown

Got it. You don’t want to talk about it, so that means ‘I don’t want to know’.

A small laugh escaped my lips. He knew how to read the room.

Another green check for him.

Unknown

Like what?

I shrugged, even though he couldn’t see me.

Me

I don’t know *shrug emoji*

like your name?

Unknown

I can’t tell you my name.

Me

why? because you are a secret agent? *thinking emoji*

Unknown

Do you think a secret agent would have this kind of app?

Me

yeah
