“Yep.”
“And it told you I would go out with you tonight?”
“It told me you’d do a lot more than go out with me.”
Now I was breathing hard for entirely different reasons. “What exactly did it tell you I was up for?”
“Ask again later.”
“Ha ha.”
“You really want to know?”
“Yeah.”
“Well,” he said. “First I asked if you were thinking about me.”
“Uh-huh.”
“And it said most likely.”
“Okay.”
“And then I asked if you were free tonight.”
“Yeah.”
“And it said, it is decidedly so.”
“So far so good.”
“Then I asked if you were up for dinner,” he said. “And it said outlook good.”
“Well, no surprise there. I could have told you that.”
He laughed. “Then I asked if you wanted to have me for dessert.”
I swallowed.
“And it said signs point to yes.”
“What signs?”
“Does it matter?”
“I suppose not, but you know those things aren’t always accurate.”
“This one is. It’s the others that are faulty.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Cause I asked whether it was telling the truth, and it said you can count on it.”
“Oh jeez.”
“So, seeing as how it would be foolish to mess with fate, how soon can I pick you up?”
“Well, I’m not even home yet, and I have to run an errand first.”
