Logan: That must be very annoying.

Skye: Nah…I kind of like it.

I stare at her response for a full minute before replying, smiling the whole time.

Logan: I kind of like it too.

Skye: Be safe, Logan.

Logan: I will. Have a good night.

Chapter Seven

Our date is tomorrow,and I have yet to know what we’re doing or where we’re going, except that Logan said to keep the entire day open and that he’d tell me more about it later. I haven’t heard from him today yet, and it’s already the afternoon. I got used to hearing from him every morning and throughout the day.

My fingers hover over his name on my text app. For once, River hasn’t changed the contact name. I think she ran out of words that rhyme with cop and cock.

I have yet to initiate a text to him. I wonder if he thinks I’m playing hard to get or snubbing him. That’s not it at all. I just don’t know what to say.

Skye: Hi.

His response comes right away.

Logan: Hey, there. Was just about to text you.

Skye: About tomorrow…

Logan: I hope you’re not texting me to cancel.

Skye: No. Not at all.

Logan: Curious?

Skye: If I were a cat, I’d be dead.

Logan: LOL, clever.

Skye: So……

Logan: I’ll pick you up at 10 a.m. Dress comfortable and warm.

Skye: Where are we going again?

Logan: Nice try.

Skye: >: (

Logan: Is that supposed to be a mad face emoji?

Logan: Cute!

Skye: What kind of comfortable are we talking about? PJs comfy or business casual comfy?

Logan: I’ve seen your PJs. They may be comfortable, but definitely not warm.

Skye: …

Logan: Don’t think too hard. A favorite pair of jeans and a sweater will be fine. And no fancy shoes needed.
