Raina S.
That’s awesome.
Want to talk again later?
Saraci
Of course.
I can’t sleep if I don’t hear from you.
See how charming I can be?
Perhaps you should comment on my charm.
Raina S.
This is my comment on Lucas’ charm. This message will self-destruct in 20 seconds.

Just use an emoji, Saraci. ??
“Raina?” Estelle pounded on the stall door. “You really can’t wait until later to talk to this man? You see each other at the end of the day.”
Only via a video screen.
“And you sleep in the same bed.”
Only in her dreams.
Begrudgingly, she opened the door. Estelle extended a hand, and she slapped the phone onto Estelle’s palm.
“The sex must be out of this world for you to be acting like this,” Estelle said. “Is that what you’ve been doing? Sexting when you can wait until later to jump on him?”
She didn’t comment.
Thursday
Lunch came right on time, fried rice piled high with vegetables that would test the limits of her digestive pills. Lucas had also sent sunflowers, the lilies and carnations still alive and well, in the guest room at Miguel and Delilah’s.
While she ate, she stared at the bouquet, thinking about Estelle’s comments from the day before. When she left, she went to her sister’s condo. If she and Lucas were going to be married for three months—at least—it would make sense for her to go home to him. They couldn’t be a married couple in the truest sense of the word without living together.
Her phone vibrated, and she nearly broke her wrist grasping for it.
The man had her twisted all out of sorts. If she worked for sixteen hours straight, he was on her mind for the entire sixteen hours, plus the hours leading up to her falling asleep later that night. Then, he showed up in her dreams.
The egomaniac turned out to be a sweet and thoughtful egomaniac who made her laugh and smile to herself when no one else was around. He was charming her, softening and ripening her.

Did you send me lunch?
No one’s ever sent me lunch before.
