“Maybe someday.”
“Someday?”
“Someday far, far in the future.”
“What about you?” I ask, turning my attention back to her.
She gives a faint smile. “I doubt it.”
“Really not even in the far, far future.”
“Probably not in the far, far future or in a faraway galaxy. I’m just not interested in it. I’m happy for them, but I like being independent. It works for me.”
I squeeze her tighter.
She whispers, “It’s why we work. No feelings. All fun.”
I let out a loud laugh.
“Well speaking of fun...” She gives me a not-so-subtle look. “My place or yours tonight?”
“Whichever one is closer,” I say, and she leans her head into my chest and laughs.
Maggie and Declan Text Thread
Declan: Guess what someone tried to bring through airport security in front of me today?
Maggie: Oh, let me think.
Declan: You’re never going to guess.
Maggie: How about a hint? Was it some sort of sex toy?
Declan: LMFAO I love that’s where your mind went first.
Maggie: (Laughing emoji)
Declan: No. Not a sex toy. I don’t think that’s banned.
Maggie: Guess it depends on the sex toy.
Declan: (dead emoji) What kind of sex toys are you into?
Maggie: Too kinky for the TSA, I guess.
Declan: Good lord, Maggie. You’re going to have to fill me in on these kinky sex toys next time we’re together.
Maggie: Not sure you can handle it, Dex.
Declan: Oh Buttercup, I can handle anything you throw at me.
Maggie: Is that right?
Declan: I think you already know that. But, no it was not a sex toy – even a really kinky one.
Maggie: Was it a weapon?
Declan: Not traditionally.
