Page 73 of Not In A Billion Years

From Gabriel

Unless we’re the mice in this scenario, I don’t think so

I feel like a mouse about to be snared in a gilded cage.

To Gabriel

I’m NOT going to banter with you

From Gabriel

You’re adorable when you use all caps

And the word you’re looking for is FLIRT

To Gabriel

We’re not flirting

From Gabriel

Speak for yourself

And I was only going to say goodnight

You’re the one who asked about my business

Tell the truth, you missed me on the stroll home

To Gabriel

I SO didn’t

A tree branch slams against my window, making me jolt.

To Gabriel

Why did Westwood have to host the conference in the creepiest patch of woods on this Earth?

From Gabriel

Don’t worry, Thomas already made me do a sweep of the premises for rabid raccoons

We’re safe

Afraid of the dark?

To Gabriel

A little

I type, not sure why I offered that nugget of truth. That little piece of myself.

From Gabriel:

I’d offer to come spoon you, but I’m afraid the offer would be rejected

Right?
