“I’m happy you like it.”

“When did you get it?”

“Yesterday … I was thinking about you all day.”

“Same.” I think about his gym selfie. “That photo was very distracting.”

“So were yours.”

It’s silent, and I feel flushed

“I have a photo request,” he says.

Oh my God.“It’s a little early for nudes, Chad.”

“Says who? But I want something nice.”

“Like?”

“A selfie of you wearing the bunny ears I got you. I want to make it your contact photo.”

“That’s going to be embarrassing when other people see it.”

“Nah. It’s going to be the cutest thing ever.”

“Only because I like this bracelet so much.”

“I’m happy you like it.”

“When are yougrabbingme?”

“How about six?”

“There better be lots of grabbing.”

“My hands will be on you the whole night.”

“Good. See you at six.”

When Anna exits her apartment with a big bag slung over her shoulder, I do a double take. I know we’ve been saying this is going to happen. But seeing this bag … it does something to me. I wasn’t assuming that, but damn, I’m happy.

“Give me that bag, little bunny,” I say, hopping out of the truck and extending my hand. She passes it over, and I pull her in for a kiss. “I’ve been wanting to do that all day,” I say when our lips part. “You look so cute in this hoodie and yoga pants. I’ve never seen you so casual.”

“I’m good at following instructions.” She smirks, staring up at me. “And I guess you look alright.”

I look down at my jeans and t-shirt. “Just alright?”

“The hat is my favorite part of your look.”

“Do you like the Packers?”

“Sort of … but I like guys in hats.” Her eyes rake down me, and a smirk grows on her face. “The tank top and shorts are a better look on you though.” She winks.

So sassy.

“Get in this truck so I can start grabbing you.”
