"It's been an interesting day." Why do I have the propensity to spill my guts around this man?
"What's wrong?" he asked.
How did he even pick that from my voice?
"Just got some bad news today."
"What happened?"
"The details don't matter."
"I see."
"It's not like you can do anything about it," I added.
And wasn't that the truth? I wasn't sure who could do something about it. Declan, probably, but he and Liz had a lot going on.
"I have a proposition for you."
"Oh, I've come to love sentences that start like that," I said, swinging back and forth in my chair.
"That's great to hear. Let's go somewhere and not talk," he suggested.
I laughed, biting my lower lip. "So what exactly would we be doing?"
“You shared a guilty pleasure of yours with me. I want to do the same.”
"Meaning?" I asked. "I feel like I should get a few more details."
"Why? Are you afraid?"
"A bit."
"Hmm. Well, you're not getting any. You have to trust me on this one."
My pulse was crazy; I felt it in my ears and my neck and over my whole chest, like my heart had somehow increased in size. "All right," I said. "Let's go wherever you want to. I’m wearing jeans and a sweater. Is that okay?”
I usually wore more formal clothes at work, but today I’d been in the mood for something casual.
"You could wear nothing at all, and it'd still fit." He groaned. "That didn't come out the way it should have."
Holy shit. I was so hot all of a sudden that I felt the need to discard every item of clothing I had on.
"Right, maybe I should insist on you telling me where we're going. Is it someplace where we need clothes?"
"You want to go somewhere with me where we have to be naked?"
I burst out laughing, replaying my previous sentence in my mind.
"Of course we're going somewhere where clothes are necessary, Reese. I would give you a proper heads-up if I had other plans," he murmured.
"Good, I would appreciate that. And before, I meant if we’re going somewhere with a dress code."
“No, don’t worry about it.”
"Want me to pick you up at the office?"
"Yeah, sure. Why not?"
