I have an idea.

ROSIE

Did Daniel just follow me? I stare down at my new followerDanielDuPontArt.Then my phone buzzes, and it’s a message from him. What is going on?

Daniel: Promise I wasn’t creeping. You’ve popped up as a suggestion and I was curious.

Daniel: You sure do like your cocktails, there are so many photos of you and cocktails.

Rosie: Is there a point to these messages?

Daniel: Yes, to make sure you know I’m not creeping.

Rosie: Okay, noted.

Daniel: And to say that I saw photos of some of your projects and I really liked them. Especially the Sussex cottage project.

Rosie: Thank you, I think.

Daniel: I’m being serious. I loved it. I like the dark moody vibes.

Rosie: It was a great project and I’m proud of it.

Daniel: You should be. I didn’t realize how talented you were.

Rosie: Think that’s a compliment.

Daniel: It is. You know English isn’t my first language?

Rosie: Sorry.

Daniel: I’m only joking. Went to an English boarding school.

Daniel: Probably the red wine talking for me instead. I’m in an Uber on my way home.

Rosie: Red wine will do that.

Rosie: Guessing your date didn’t go well if you’re on your way home this early.

Daniel: Why did you go straight to date?

Rosie: *Shrug emoji*

Daniel: I was with friends.

Daniel: Stuck at my friend’s and it was all couples and needed the wine to make it through the evening.

Daniel: My friends are nauseatingly in love.

Rosie: That’s sweet.

Rosie: Let me guess, were one of the couples Ivy & Alex?

Daniel: Yep.

Rosie: Then I understand the wine.
