Me: Then why did you leave, and why couldn't I come with you? I swear to God, if you are having second thoughts about us again, I am going to lose my shit.

Sawyer: No second thoughts. I promise.

Sawyer: I'll call you tomorrow.

Sawyer: You're the best.

Sawyer: I love you.

Me: I am the best. You're right. I love you too.

Sawyer: Better still. Come up to the house tomorrow. Bring Jed. The family are all here, and they'd love to see you, and meet Jed.

Me: I could leave Jed with Jackie and Dale. They haven't had him for a while. They only told me today how much they miss having him for a sleepover.

Sawyer: No. Bring Jed too. My mom wants to meet him. I think Callie would love him too.

Me: Two dog emojis

Me: Barking dog GIF.

Me: Two dogs eating spaghetti GIF.

Sawyer: Don't get any ideas. We're not having puppies.

Me: Jed has no balls. Callie is safe.

Sawyer: Will you come tomorrow?

Me: Sure.

Sawyer: With Jed?

Me: Yes! With Jed.

Sawyer: Goodnight, beautiful. See you tomorrow.

"Good morning, baby boy," I call over to Jed, my voice thick with sleep. He is sprawled out on his bed with his legs in the air like usual, but I hear the distinctivethud, thud, thudof his tail on the floor. A sliver of light is beaming in through the window. I grab my phone from the nightstand and the check the time. nine thirty-two. There is a message from Sawyer.

Sawyer: Good morning, Sugar. Can't wait to see you today. What time are you leaving?

Me: I just woke up. *Yawn emoji*

Me: *sends topless bedhead selfie with one hand covering my tits*

Sawyer: Fuck.

Me: That's what we'll be doing later, I hope.

Me: *sends dripping donut GIF*

Sawyer: Naughty girl.

Me: Yup.

Sawyer: I'll be dripping out of you later alright.

Sawyer: Get your ass up and get ready. Everyone wants to see you.
