Doesn’t sound like you.

It isn’t usually, but I’ve been out a lot recently so. . .

I see

Did he suspect I was staying home because of him? Since I’d admitted I liked him, and he’d done the same, our conversational tone had definitely shifted.

Do you?

Kinda

What do you see, exactly?

Not you, unfortunately.

That took it up a notch. Since I hadn’t washed my face yet, I decided to go for it. Turning the phone around, I took a selfie. And another. After four later, I had a decent one.

I hit “send.” It took a few seconds to get delivered.

Now you see me.

I certainly do. Sexy Zoe girl.

LOL. I am anything but sexy in my pjs.

Wanna bet?

I took a sip of wine. Yep, this was getting interesting.

How about one of you? Fair play?

Pause.

Wish I could. Later maybe.

Probably too many people around. Or he was in a secure area or something of the sort.

That’s OK

But holy hell, Zoe. You are one gorgeous girl. Though I assume you know that already.

And how would I know such a thing? You better tell me a few more times.

In response, he sent a series of fire emojis. Smiling, I took another sip of wine.

So, staying in. Drinking wine? What else?

That’s it. And talking to you.

Lucky me

Same

Glad to hear it.

Glad I sent that note.

You can say that again.
