“Sure,” he said. “You doing anything tonight?”
“Tonight?”
“Yeah, tonight.”
“Well…”
“Let’s go grab a drink and see where it goes from there.”
She looked at me for affirmation. I nodded my head. The sooner he moves on the better. I was ready for a little less complicated.
“Sounds good to me.”
“Great, Laura. You want me to pick you up?”
I shook my head violently.
“No, we can meet somewhere,” she said.
“Alright. I’ll text you an address.”
“Sounds good.”
“I’ll be the one with all the muscles.”
Laura giggled like a schoolgirl.
“Yeah, I’ve seen your photos online.”
“Oh, you have, have you?”
“Yeah. They were nice.”
“Just nice, huh? You’ll change your tone when you see them in person.”
“I bet I will,” she said.
“Talk to you soon, Laura.”
“Yeah…”
She ended the call then twisted to face me.
“Well?” she asked.
“Well what?”
“You sure you don’t mind?”
“Why would I give you the number if I minded?”
“I don’t know. You can be… too nice sometimes.”
“That’s my problem, is it?”
“I need to go get ready,” she said, standing up. “It’s okay if I leave already?”
“It’s okay, I promise,” I said, nodding toward the bottle. “More wine for me.”
