Lucian: So now we’re blaming me for the fence too?
Olivia: Where is Sarah?
Lucian: Just because she’s in your backyard, it doesn’t mean she’s at fault.
Olivia: She broke it, didn’t she?
Lucian: No, she didn’t. She’s jumped that fence multiple times and has never done any damage.
Olivia: Have you considered hiring a trainer?
Lucian: I have a great coach. Have you seen the headlines? I’m the best running back in the league.
Olivia: I’m so not amused by your response.
Lucian: Who hurt you, Olivia?
Olivia: Excuse me?
Lucian: It seems like you have, or should I say: You lack of sense of humor. I thought it was me, but I’m starting to believe that you have . . . issues.
Olivia: I don’t have fucking issues. You’re my current problem, Lucian Crawford.
Lucian: Tell me more, I’m a great listener.
Olivia: What are you talking about?
Lucian: We’re trying to figure out why you’re so unhappy with your life. Just so you know, my rates are high, but you and I . . . we can come to an agreement. :wink: emoji
Olivia: You and I aren’t coming to anything.
Lucian: Oh, but we can. I can make you come hard and loud if you allow it, and . . . maybe that’s all you need. Someone to give you a couple of good orgasms to level up.
Lucian: Think about it. No stress, no overcomplicating things—just you, me, and a little relief. I bet you’d sleep like a baby after.
Olivia: Wow. So generous of you. Truly, a selfless act. Too bad I’m not interested in being your charity case—or your stress relief.
Lucian: So, you admit it. You have problems, but you don’t want me to fix them for you.
Olivia: I admitted no such thing.
Lucian: You did. In writing. I have receipts.
Olivia: You also have a dog who thinks my backyard is her personal vacation home.
Lucian: She has excellent taste. And so do I.
Olivia: Is this where you start trying to be charming?
Lucian: Oh, sweetheart. I’ve been charming. You’re just trying really hard not to notice.
Olivia: I would notice if you weren’t failing. I’m totally unmoved.
Lucian: For now.
Olivia: Forever.
Lucian: Big words for someone who types so fast when I text.
