I’ll have to schedule a breakfast and lunch date

Me

I don’t want to be anywhere before 10

Hunter

9:30 would be best

Me

Fine

I considered telling him I could meet with Kody after all, since we were doing morning appointments, but it would only be a little over twelve hours after the first date. That would send the same message as getting him out of work.

Me

Can you see if Silas can meet tomorrow? I want to know if he’s willing to be the backup or not

Hunter

Yeah

Send your availability for the next few days if you can

I sent it over, and leaned back against my chair. My phone buzzed again, and I finally saw Clay’s message.

Clay

I’m back, and you’re still not answering

Did Hunter kill you after all?

Reluctantly, I opened the conversation and read the text I’d ignored earlier.

Clay

I’m outside your door with your clothes. Can you answer so we can talk about last night?

Oh, geez.

I was nowhere near ready for that conversation. I wasn’t sure I would ever be ready.

Me

Sorry, had to do a thing

Won’t be back for another twenty minutes

We can talk tomorrow

Clay

I’ll wait

Shit.

My fingers hovered over the screen as I debated whether or not to answer. I had no idea what to say. So, I just exited the message as Hunter texted back.
