Are you asking me out on a date, Lainey?

Me

Ha! Yes, a day date.

Rhett

For you, I think I can make that happen. I’ll text you an address where to meet me.

But don’t expect me to put out. We’re only on our third date. You’ve got at least a week to go before you can even think about getting in my pants.

Me

Dead.

For the record, I’ve thought about getting in your pants.

Rhett

I know. I can tell.

Me

That lunch = sooo good. Thank you. And thank you for showing me the pictures of the Iceland hotel. I was already in awe of you, and now, I’m just blown away.

Rhett

Keep talking that way, and I’m going to think you want to move there with me.

Me

I just might.

Me

Rhett! The flowers! OMG, they’re absolutely gorgeous. And huge! They take up almost the whole kitchen counter. I’m in love with them. Thank you. XO

Rhett

I’m glad you love them. Hopefully, they’ll make this sting a little less … I have to cancel our dinner plans tonight. The whole team is getting together with the Westons to talk about Iceland. If it wasn’t my hotel, I’d bail, but I can’t.

Me

Please don’t worry. I completely understand.

Rhett

It’ll probably be a late night—it usually is when it comes to those guys. I don’t want to wake you when I get home, so I’ll sleep at my place tonight.

Me

Wake me.

Rhett

You’re sure?

Me
