I release a long, slow breath.
My work nemesis is in his redemption arc.
And I’m falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

After I doa quick version of my bedtime routine, I lie on the bed and open my phone to Instagram. There’s already a message from Mr. International waiting for me.
@worth_traveling_to:
I think we should meet.
My gasp is immediate.
@girl_sees_the_world:
You want to meet?
@worth_traveling_to:
I'm thinking about it. Is that crazy?
@girl_sees_the_world:
It’s a little crazy. It kind of feels out of nowhere. Why now, after all this time?
@worth_traveling_to:
I’ve been beating around the bush with you for a while now, but I really like you, and I think you like me. So maybe it’s time to meet and see if there’s something between us.
I don’t know when I covered my mouth with my hand, but it’s there, holding in my shock. If that kiss between Nate and me taught me one thing, it’s that I need to figure out my feelings for Mr. International. Okay, his kiss taught mea lotmore than that, but we’re not getting into the details.
@girl_sees_the_world:
I think you’re right. I’m ready to meet you too.
I push send and wait with a pounding heart.
@worth_traveling_to:
Okay. Let’s do it.
@girl_sees_the_world:
Okay. How does this work?
@worth_traveling_to:
I’m on a work trip right now, but maybe the end of next week? We could meet up somewhere local.
@girl_sees_the_world:
Yeah, that’s perfect since I’m out of town too.
@worth_traveling_to:
Are you freaking out right now?
