My attention.
“Very well, then. I’ll show you.” Jasper disappears, Doja trotting after him and I pick up my phone with dread, checking my messages. They’re not all from Seamus, though most of them are.
Unknown number:You can’t ignore me forever. We should get together soon. I would love to catch up.
Unknown number:Don’t you ever think of me? Remember the good times we shared? There were plenty. Not everything was bad between us, Charlotte. Once upon a time, I do think you loved me.
I didn’t know what love was—I still don’t. It was a silly infatuation that bloomed into a full-blown affair that cost me the rest of my semester in Paris.
Only because I ran away like a child, but at the time, I still was one.
Me:There’s nothing for us to catch up on. I don’t want to see you, Seamus. Please leave me alone.
Unknown number:Tell me you love him and I will.
I don’t bother answering him. I block his number instead, then check my other text.
One from my husband.
Perry:I have a surprise for you.
My stomach flutters with excitement at that one simple sentence.
If I don’t watch it, I could completely and totally fall for this man. And I don’t mind the idea of it one bit.
Me:What is it?
Perry:If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise.
Me:Then why are you even bringing it up?
Perry:Because I need your cooperation. I want you to be ready for me at seven o’clock. I’ll pick you up in front of the building.
Seven is so far away. An eternity. I don’t know how I’ll wait that long.
Me:How should I dress?
Perry:What do you mean?
Me:Oh come on, my fashionable husband. What sort of outfit should I wear? Casual? Dressy?
Perry:Panties or no panties?
My entire body flushes hot.
Me:Yes, all of that. These are important details I need to know before you pick me up.
Perry:Dress casual. Panties optional.
I’m full-blown giddy now. All texts from Seamus completely pushed out of my mind.
Me:I’m intrigued.
Perry:You should be, wife.
I like it when he calls me wife.
And I’m definitely not wearing panties for this so-called casual excursion. I have no idea where he might be taking me, but I know I’ll enjoy the ride.
