That night when I get back to the hotel, I have two texts from Georgie:

A congrats that comes with confetti all over my screen and a text with about twenty exclamation points.

I send her a bunch of periods back.

Georgie

Your message came through weird. It’s just a bunch of dots? Sorry if I missed something.

Logan

The dots were periods. Twenty, to be precise.

Georgie

…

Oh.

Because of my exclamation points?

Logan

Because of your exclamation points.

Georgie

Wow.

So that’s how it’s going to be?

Logan

How?

Georgie

Oh.

Um, sassy?

Logan

Men aren’t sassy.

Georgie

I think you may be the exception.

Logan

I’ll accept smart-alecky. Or cheeky, if you must.

Georgie

Nope. You’re officially sassy.
