It’s not until he hits send that he realizes it’s half-past four. The last thing he wants to do is wake Bridget up, or worse, piss her off just in case she’s burning the midnight oil and is up writing. To his surprise, his phone buzzes.

Bridget

You are so full of shit, but I appreciate your lies.

Silas

Ouch! Here I am trying to compliment your skills, and you wound me.

Bridget

Lol. I do appreciate the compliment, however far-fetched it is. Okay, quiz time. Are you ready?

Silas

And waiting.

Bridget

What flower did Tyberious give to Queen Miranda before the battle of the Radyn?

Silas

You wound me again, baby. The answer is marigolds, now ask me something hard.

Bridget

Okay, who is Queen Isolde?

Bridget, why are you trying to play me?

Silas grins as he types his answer. It’s a trick question; Queen Isolde isn’t in Bridget’s books. She’s the main antagonist in Bridget’s friend Aimee’s book series,The Prince’s Journey.And she doesn’t think he knows that.

Silas

Why are you asking me about Aimee’s books?

Bridget

Don’t tell me you read those since you met me.

Silas

No, but I Googled her after I found a picture of you two on your IG.

Bridget

Which picture?

Silas

The one from that convention y’all went to a few months ago.

Bridget

Yeah, that was an interesting day.

Silas
