They’re welcome anytime.

Any word on Cisco?
[Text: Ophelia]
He’s out of the picture for now.
[Text: Phantom]
Good to hear.
I hesitate.
I stroke my thumb over the screen, debating my next move.
[Text: Ophelia]
What are you doing right now?
[Text: Phantom]
Talking to you.
I grin.Asshole.
Then I shoot my shot.
[Text: Ophelia]
Come over.
It’s his turn to hesitate.
Is our moment at the leather bench looping over and over in his head, the same way it’s looping in mine?
[Text: Phantom]
Don’t tease me.
[Text: Ophelia]
I’m not.
[Text: Ophelia]
I’m inviting.
Another pause from him. Then?—
[Text: Phantom]
Then do it properly.
My heart skips a beat. My nipples get tight underneath my gown.
