No one aside from Eddie has this number, and only one other person knows where I was headed, so I’m a little surprised when I find a notification for an email when the screen lights up.

Dear Miss Smith,
I sincerely hope you had a wonderful evening with Mr. Boring, although I can’t imagine he fulfilled all of your desires.
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to go through our current assignment with me seeing as I was so rudely late to class. I can assure you that it won’t happen again.
I always come on time.
Yours,
Joe Kingsman
I stare downat my phone with my eyes wide and my mouth gaping open. Did one of my students just tell me he comes on demand?
What the hell have I got myself into here? My temperature spikes as I begin to type a reply.

Subject: Romeo needs to work harder
Dear Mr, Kingsman,
I’m glad I could be of assistance. Any problems with the work, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Miss Smith
PS. My evening was...boring.
The wine Eddieordered us is clearly having an effect, because before I’ve really thought about it I hit send. I regret it instantly. What the hell am I doing, and why am I more excited right now than I’ve ever been in my life?

Dear Miss Smith,
I think you need some excitement in your life, and I know just where you can find it…
Very much looking forward to our next lesson.
Mr. Kingsman
