“Love you.”

I pick up my book again and read until my eyes close.

Warren

Meet me at my house at 5. No heels.

I roll my eyes. Of course he’d say that.

Maisie

Are you gonna tell me what we’re doing?

Warren

Nope.

Maisie

How do I know you’re not going to take me out to the woods, force me to dig a six-foot grave, and push me inside it?

Warren

Because it’d take you the whole week just to dig the hole and I wouldn’t waste seven days on that.

Maisie

Are you calling me weak?

Warren

More like a city girl. You showed up on a ranch in six-inch heels.

Maisie

They were only four inches, thank you.

Warren

And my point is made. No. Heels.

I glare at my screen, hearing his grumpy tone in my head.

Maisie

Give me a hint.

Warren

I’ll have you screaming my name within a few seconds.

He’s gotta be fucking with me.

He knows exactly how that sounds.

Maisie

That only adds to my murder theory.
