My chest aches reading his words. He's right. I have been dreaming about this for a long time.

Tess

...

How did you know that?

Colt

Because it's written between every line of your profile. You've been hiding this part of yourself.

Tess

Maybe I'm just curious.

Colt

Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

Tess

Damn. You don't pull punches, do you?

Colt

Not when it matters.

Tess

This is just an app conversation. We haven't even met.

Colt

And yet you're still here, talking to me instead of the 20 other matches in your inbox.

Tess

Maybe you're just more interesting.

Colt

Or maybe you recognize something you need.

Tess

You're very sure of yourself.

Colt

And you're deflecting. Tell me what you're thinking right now. The truth.

Tess

I'm thinking that you scare me a little.

Colt

Good.
