Cinderella
Maybe . . .
This girl... what is it about her? How can sexy come across in a text message?
And why do I need to know more?
Like she’s my drug of choice, and I’m dying for my next hit.
Cross
Tell me something about yourself.
Cinderella
I’m a twin, and this is the first time my sister and I haven’t been together for our birthday... ever.
Cross
Happy birthday.
Cinderella
It was last night.
Cross
Pretty sure I gave you your present then.
Cinderella
Yeah, you did.
Cross
Why were you alone if it was your birthday?
Cinderella
My family is on vacation but I had to work. My friends are all off enjoying the sun and sand too. We’ll do something when they all get back and Gracie comes home.
Cross
Your sister?
Cinderella
Yup. One sister. Three brothers. How about you?
Cross
One brother. One sister.
I debate my next text.
I haven’t dated since Kerrigan was born.
Hell, I haven’t flirted with anyone but her mother in four years.
