Kate forces a smile and takes a massive bite of her rice, mumbling, “Yup.”
“Well, I think it’s lovely,” Lily decides.
“Thank you,” I reply.
“Iamgoing to make you sleep in separate rooms, though,” Dan adds.
I chuckle and dip my chin. “I think that’s a fair arrangement.”
Satisfied, Dan grabs the white container of lo mein in the center of the table and adds another scoop to his plate.
Guess that’s it, then.

Since you introduced yourself to my parents as my boyfriend, is sexting now allowed?
Macklin
You caught that, huh?
Me
Sure did. Although I notice you didn’t answer my question about sexting…
Macklin
Not sure it’s a good idea.
Ifrown, reading his words as another text pops up.
Macklin
Not when I know you’re only a few rooms away.
Another message follows right after.
Macklin
Not when I want to sneak in and slide my hands up your bare thighs.
Me
And if I wasn’t a few rooms away from you?
Macklin
I’d ask what you’re wearing.
Me
I mean, you did mention bare thighs…
