A welcome novelty. Takes off the I’m-wearing-a-thirty-thousand-dollar-watch edge most women seem to care so much about. But like the best things in life, she’s going to make me work for it.
A ping distracts me from my mental reverie.
From Blake
Sorry, Gabriel. You seem like a perfectly nice man, but I have to focus on my company now. I don’t have time for distractions
Oof. Miss Avery doesn’t pull punches.
To Blake
That was brutal
I swear no woman has ever given me the ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ speech before even agreeing to go on a date with me
From Blake
I bet no woman ever gave you that speech, period
True. But I don’t comment on it.
From Blake
And I thought I’d been gentle?
To Blake
Calling me a perfectly nice man?
Come on
That was unnecessarily cruel
My ego is blown to smithereens
From Blake
Go stand in front of the mirror in a superhero pose, it’ll recover in no time
To Blake
I can’t move, remember?
From Blake
Deep breaths
You’ll be fine in a couple of days, I promise

To Blake
Sweet dreams, Blake
PS. Try not to make them about my rubber duck
