“Sorry, again, Mom. I promise I’ll be there for the anniversary party. I’ll even come down the day before and help you choose between outfits.” She hums her approval. The only thing Evelyn Davis loves more than buying clothes is showing them off.
“Thank you, honey. That sounds fun. Love you!”
“Love you, too, Mom. And say ‘hi’ to Dad for me.”
“Will do, honey. Bye.” I fall back against the couch when the phone disconnects. I love her, but my mom isa lot.
I pull my computer back onto my lap and bring up Adam’s message. If he wants his updates via text instead of the platform, I guess that’s cool with me. I punch his number into my phone and hesitate just a few seconds before texting.
There’s no reason to be nervous, Maya. He’s just a customer…A very flirty customer, but still.
Adam (Champagne Flutes)
Hello, Mr. Park. This is Maya.
Adam (Champagne Flutes):New phone. Who dis?
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Jk. Hi Maya. What’s it gonna take for you to call me Adam?
Sorry. It’s a force of habit. This is all a bit unusual.
Adam (Champagne Flutes):What’s unusual?
What’s unusual?Everything!
My usual engraver is out. The delay message didn’t work. I’m hand-delivering the flutes instead of shipping them. And now we’re texting instead of using the website.
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Is that OK? I swear I’m not just trying to get your number
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Mostly…
LMAO!
Why would you want my number? You don’t even know me
Who’s to say I’m not a serial killer?
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Call it a hunch…
A hunch, huh?
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Yeah. My hunch is telling me this is a very inefficient way to findmurder victims.
LOL!!! Who could argue with such flawless logic?
Adam (Champagne Flutes):So Ms. Davis has a smart mouth, does she? ;-)
No comment. ;-)
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Anyway, it’s a pain to keep the site open all the time.
They have an app…
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Yeah, but like I said, you’ll need my number for delivery anyway.
I guess you’re right. I’m actually not a fan of having to go back and forth on the platform either.
Adam (Champagne Flutes):Cool. I’m saving you in my phone.
