Me
I like my students to be able to get in touch with me if they need to. And this semester it had an unanticipated side benefit.
Amelia
What’s that?
Me
Now I have your number, and I didn’t even have to ask you for it.
Amelia
I’m in your class. You probably have pretty easy access to my number if you wanted it.
Me
Probably, but that would be cheating. I wanted you to give me your number because you wanted to. I didn’t want to get it by default. And hey, look, you gave me your number.
Amelia
So, I could ask you not to tell your brothers that I’m Gabe Sullivan’s sister.
Me
Does the reason really matter? I’ve got your number either way.
Amelia
Are you going to keep my last name to yourself?
Me
Of course. Your secret’s safe with me.
Amelia
Thank you.
Me
Anything for you, Mystery Girl.
Amelia
Professor. Student.
Me
I swear I know. I said I would never mess you up and I meant it. You’re driving this ship.
Amelia
I do like being in charge.
Me
[bites fist]. You said that to fuck with me, didn’t you?
