Me

I’m smiling … just thought you should know.

Rhett

Is that a yes?

Me

That’s a strong maybe.

Rhett

I can live with that. I can’t live without seeing you tonight.

Me

Then, you’d better come over after work.

Rhett

I’m on my way. Want me to grab dinner? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it doesn’t have any dairy.

Me

That would be amazing. See you soon.

Rhett

And more vodka?

Me

How about wine?

Rhett

Even better.

Rhett

You look so beautiful when you sleep—that’s why I didn’t wake you. Just want you to know I left for work.

Me

Thank you for the coffee—you made it perfectly—and for the cutest note ever.

Rhett

Almond creamer with a dash of cinnamon. Even I can’t fuck that up.

Glad you liked it.

Me

I have to work tonight—a big project I have to get done before the morning. Could you meet for lunch instead of dinner?

Rhett
