For the next few minutes I told her about my date, this time giving her all the details I’d left out when talking to Liam and Julius. The guy was gentlemanly enough that he’d made me feel special, and he was even funny in his own way. There hadn’t been much in the way of chemistry, though. Notrealchemistry.
Nothing like the chemistry you’d feltafterthe date…
“Was he good-looking?” my sister was asking, putting an end to my daydream.
“Actually yes,” I admitted. “He looked even better than in his profile photos, and that’s rare. He has his own house. A decent job, too.”
“Then go out with him again!” Patrice encouraged me. “Don’t blow this guy off just because he didn’t ‘wow’ you, give him another chance. Maybe it was just the first date jitters.”
“Yeah maybe,” I said. “Or maybe I didn’t ‘wow’ him.”
“Impossible.”
“Well he hasn’t actually called yet, and the date was two days ago, so—”
A new message popped up on-screen, and reflexively I swiped it away. In the millisecond I glanced at it, I saw who it was from.
“Holy shit it’shim!” I gasped, covering my mouth.
“What?”
“He just sent me a text-message!” I exclaimed. “Right now. While we were talking about him!”
My sister’s eyes went wide. “See?” she cried. “Maybe it’s fate!”
“C’mon,” I laughed. “You don’t believe in any of that stuff.”
“But you do,” Patrice countered, “and that’s what matters.” She sighed as I made a face. “Delilah, you’ve always been into that ‘putting out good karma into the universe’ stuff, hoping it’ll come back around. Well maybe that’s exactly what this is. It’s coming around.”
The alarm on my phone went off, indicating it was lunch time. One of the twins needed a changing, too.
“Somethingbetterbe coming,” I grumbled, as I waved my goodbye. “And soon too.”
“With the dry spell you’re having?” my sister joked. “You’re not kidding.”
