He stands to leave, and I sit in shock with myself.

“Think about dinner, though,” he says. “I’m stuck here all weekend, and it’d be nice to hang out.”

I immediately text Silas on my burner phone.

The new Senator from California just hit on me.

Silas

Are you trying to get me locked up for murder?

Me

Silas

This guy?

Me

Yeah. He’s on the committee now.

Silas

Hit on you how?

I grin. I like jealous Silas.

Me

He asked me to dinner.

Silas

Was there touching?

I laugh out loud.

Me

Define touching

Silas

If you show your face in New York this weekend, you’re gonna go back to Washington with more hickeys than you can count. I hope you’re prepared for that.

Me

Looking forward to it.

Silas
