Jill

Do elaborate.

Max

Sure thing…as soon as you get your cute butt over here so I can tell you in person. I just got a room.Sadly it’s on the third floor. Lowest they had to offer. (frown emoji) But we’re at a dude ranch—there’s got to be some rope around here somewhere that I can use to pull you up. Where do you think they keep all the lassos?

Jill

That’s your plan? To lasso me? I hope you have a plan B.

Max

Not as of yet…but hey, if I tried to say something about how you’ve lassoed my heart how would that be received? Would it make you like the lasso plan better?

Jill

No, but it would make me like my ‘sneak through the lobby’ plan better.

Max

Fine. We’ll do it your way.

Max

But will you at least still wear all black?

Max

For posterity’s sake.

Jill

How on earth will me wearing all black to sneak into your room benefit future generations?

Max

Easy–it will put me in the mood to create future generations.

A laugh slips out of me.

Jill

Sorry, that ship has sailed. My pelvic floor can’t take that kind of abuse again.

Max

Ooh, pelvic floor. Sounds sexy. Just getting in the elevator now–what button do I push to get off at such a floor?

Jill

Stick around in the elevator and maybe I’ll show you.

Max

Jill

Um, you know you just sent an empty text right?
