Jack: I’ve never lifted a weight like that before.

But when I was about to lift it, I just pictured you sitting on top of me and I was able to lift it

Claire: You don’t even know what I look like haha

Jack: Oh yeah haha

We better fix that . . .

Claire: Well, I really hope the photos I took live up to the image of me you have in your head

Jack: Oh don’t worry, I know they will . . .

Claire: Can I ask a favour?

Jack: Of course

Claire: Can you send your photos first? I’m kinda nervous.

I’ve never done anything like this before, it’s all still so new to me x

Jack: I understand. And just so you know, this is all new to me too so please don’t feel nervous.

I took these pics in the gym today. I hope you like them . . .

Claire: I know I will x

Jack: Image Delivered

It was the moment of truth, and every second she didn’t reply felt like an eternity. He thought he looked good, but for all he knew, Claire had extremely high standards for men. He regretted saying he was passionate about bodybuilding. He had only gone once for heaven’s sake. And Rory said he had a dad bod! She hadn’t responded in about sixty seconds and Colin was sure she had lost interest.

Jack: If I’m not your type, I understand . . .

Claire: Are you serious? I was trying to catch my breath again.

You have a habit of leaving me breathless x

Jack: Phew, I thought you were about to block me or something haha

Claire: Block a guy with a body like THAT? I don’t see that happening!

You’re so masculine. Your back is so wide.

Ugh and that tan. It’s obvious you’re no stranger to sun x

Jack: You got me, I love to travel

Claire: Ugh same x

Jack: Imagine me and you escaping to a tropical island somewhere . . .

White beaches, cocktails

Claire: How do you always know the right thing to say?
