Besides, I've already consulted legal counsel on this and added my section to the contract.
I grabbed a pen and quickly jotted down the terms, then snapped a picture and sent it.
The image showed the last page of her beautifully formatted document—tight margins, numbered clauses, professional font—now defaced with my handwriting.
Section 6.Date Nights
Both parties agree to date nights within these three precious weeks, all in the spirit of getting to know each other and having fun.
6.1 Food is mandatory (offered by yours truly—obvs)
6.2 No backing out without reasonable cause (cowardice is not acceptable, trouble.I mean it)
6.3 Savannah smiles more = Jaxon happy.
It took a full three minutes before she started typing.I stared at the screen like it might’ve combusted.Then—
SAVANNAH
You are unbelievable.
JAXON
But it makes sense right?
SAVANNAH
No, it doesn't.
I told you we don't need to do that
JAXON
Be honest, Savannah
Did you have fun when we went out?
I waited.
Didn’t breathe.
And just when I was about to toss my phone down and charge everything, another message came through.
SAVANNAH
…Fine.
Dates are added.
But we will revisit the terms if you cross a line.
I grinned—slow, wide, dangerous.The chime outside alerted me that I had company, so I pushed out of my desk and started making my way out of the office, mug in hand.
JAXON
Never gonna happen, sweetheart
SAVANNAH
