Sadie
Aren’t you supposed to be paying attention to the board meeting right now?
Nash
I can’t concentrate with you sitting across from me. If I sit up a little taller, I get a glimpse of your cleavage.
Sadie
Haha. You’re the worst boss ever!
Nash
But the best husband?
Sadie
One thousand percent the best husband. (heart eyes emoji)
I can admit the flirting back and forth over text is cute—something that would make me smile if I saw it in a movie. Stetson and I never did things like this. We were busy with school and work. It was hard to find time to look at our phones. When we did have a chance to text, it was short and to the point, very business-like, until we could be together in person. That was where the magic happened.
These messages don’t seem like me, but at the same time, I can hear my voice behind them. I read a few more, looking for myself in each one.
Nash
I just booked that chalet in Zermatt with a private Jacuzzi.
Sadie
That’s perfect because I just bought a new black bikini.
Nash
Unnecessary purchase. Clothing is prohibited.
Sadie
Just wait until you see it on me. I think you’ll let me keep it. (winky emoji)
Nash
As long as I get to be the one to take it off you.
Sadie
Deal.
I still can’t believe you’re taking me to Switzerland for Christmas. How did I get so lucky?
Nash
You’re incredible and deserve to have all your dreams come true.
Sadie
You’re the dream! I’ve never been happier in my entire life. Thanks for putting me first. Love you!
I stare at the words on the screen.
