Dex:
Hell no, I’m putting that in my spank bank.
Margot:
You’re so romantic.
Dex:
And you like it
Margot:
Maybe I do. You’re growing on me just a little ...
Dex:
Just aLittle? Sounds like I have my work cut out for me.
Margot:
Don’t sweat it.
Dex:
Easy for you to say! You’re not easy to impress
Margot:
Oh stop it—I’m impressed, okay? You have nothing to worry about.
Dex:
Well then when am I going to see you again? Since skydiving is out, I’ll have to think of something else. Hot air balloon ride?
Margot:
How about a picnic?
Dex:
God no.
Margot:
I take back what I said about you being romantic ...
Chapter 21
Margot
In the end, I cave.
Actually, that’s not true, and it’s not fair.
I didn’t cave—I gave some serious thought to the dilemma and eventually had a conversation with my daughter. Her opinion matters to me, and she deserves to have input.
So here I am, bringing Dex up to my daughter when I told myself I wasn’t going to get her involved in my dating life until I was certain I was going to continue seeing him long term.
