Mads

Pls. give me 10 minutes and a wi-fi connection and I can find your blood type.

Blake

…I’m both impressed and slightly concerned.

Mads

Impressed enough to let me take you to this party?

Blake

Oh yeah, nothing screams romance like crashing a rousing game of beer pong for murder research.

Mads

It’s a costume party. *wink emoji*

I watch the typing bubble blink on and off like she’s starting a reply, deleting it, then starting again.

Mads

Admit it, you want to see me all dressed up.

Blake

I would be entertained by the possibility of “accidentally” spilling my drink on you to get us out of a hairy situation.

Mads

Dangerous game, Blue. you get me wet and I’ll return the favor.

Blake

*eye roll emoji*

Mads

Was that eye roll an invitation, a warning, or foreplay?

Blake

Is there a “none of the above” option?

Mads

No.

Blake

You’re so annoying.

Mads

We could go costume shopping?

Blake
