Booker:It’s up to you, baby. It won’t change how I feel about you, no matter what. You thought I was long gone. You thought I’d abandoned you. I have no say in how you chose to move on and heal.
Macie:How do you always know the right words to say?
Booker:I don’t. I’m being as honest with you as I can be.
Macie:I’ve dated a few guys, here and there. Nothing ever got too serious.
Booker:Okay.
Macie:That’s it?
Booker:I’m not sure what you want me to say, baby. It’s okay. I’m jealous, I’m not angry. I wish like hell I’d never left you. But that’s my burden to bear.
Macie:I had sex with one of them.
Booker:That makes sense, you were dating.
Macie:A few times. It wasn't anything to write home about. That’s an odd statement, isn’t it? Why would I write to my parents about the subpar sex I had with some business major I dated for a bit?
Booker:You’re rambling. You’re nervous.
Macie:Still not angry?
Booker:I’m not angry at you. I’m angry at myself for the distance I kept between us. This is all on me, Macie.
Macie:Your accident, did it affect any other parts of you?
Booker:Macie Palmer. Are you asking me if my dick still works?
Macie:Don’t make me regret it.
Booker:It still works. Very well, I’ll have you know. You have the ability to make me hard with nothing but words even with oceans between us.
Macie:Good thing your momma is at that hotel then, huh?
Booker:What did you have in mind, baby?
Macie:I don’t know. I just… I’m trying to figure out how I feel about all this, you know? I wanted to see if I still wanted you. That way.
Booker:Fuck, Macie girl. Please tell me you’re not teasing.
Macie:I don’t even know where to start. I’ve never done this before.
Booker:Me neither. All my firsts have always been meant for you.
Macie:You want to know what one of my favorite memories of us is?
Booker:More than almost anything.
Macie:It was a few months before you left. Your momma went on that girls’ weekend with McCall’s mom, and I convinced my parents I was spending the weekend with a friend from school.
Booker:If your parents paid any attention, they’d know the only friend from school you cared to spend time with was McCall.
Macie:You and I had two whole nights together alone.
Booker:I don’t even think we got dressed until it was time for you to go home. We stayed naked, tangled in my sheets. We only came up for air to eat and shower.
Macie:Tell me more about what you remember from that weekend.
