Yeah, I love him. Scary but true.

I smile Just as I dim the lights, my phone dings once again. No doubt who it’s from.

Landon: Dinner with me tomorrow night, please? Twenty-four hours without seeing you is torture. Jackson will be at his grandparents all evening. I won’t have to go back home early.

Lacey: Yes. I’ll cook. Bring your appetite ‘cause pie is on the menu.

Landon: ????????????????Pie!

I laugh at the emoji and the string of hearts.

Lacey: Calm down, boy. It’s only pie.

Landon: When you make it, it’s a taste bud extravaganza, a work of art. Beautiful and sweet like you.

Damn him. He has my heart wrapped up in his words.

Lacey: Night, Landon. See you tomorrow.

Landon: Night, baby.
