Ha. Ha. I’d rather crash the Ducati again than sit in this meeting
Peyton
Should I call your “resourceful personal assistant” to extract you?
Liam
You’re obsessed with my guy
Peyton
I’m obsessed with the fact that you have “a guy”
Our chat continues all week. It’s mostly silly daily stuff and lots of low-key flirting.
Thursday night I send him a picture of a glass of wine next to the stack of historical-fiction books on his nightstand.
Peyton
Trying to understand the appeal
Liam
The appeal is me wearing the glasses while reading them
Peyton
WOW. The ego on this man *exploding brain emoji*
(But you’re not wrong)
Liam
I’ll wear them on our date
Peyton
Where are we going?
Liam
Nah, come on, you know I can’t tell you that. So you’re not having cold feet?
Peyton
No, I don’t have cold feet
Liam
I disagree. I felt them on my calves every night last week
Peyton
You didn’t complain then
Liam
I wasn’t complaining now
