“Who was that?” Robbie asked, coming over to stand beside me.
“That could be a pretty decent work contract.”
Robbie clapped my shoulder. “Love to see it.”
My phone ranga bit after seven and Linden’s name on my screen made my heart beat double time.
“Hello,” I said.
“Hey,” he replied. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry Cory came to see you at work.”
I snorted. “Don’t apologise, it’s fine. I’m actually kinda glad he did. It’s out of the way now, and I don’t have to be a nervous wreck for a week leading up to some planned meeting.”
He laughed quietly. “This is true. I had no idea he was going to see you until he called me when he was almost there. I think he wanted to torture me, as he does. I did try to warn you.”
“You did. Your second voicemail was my favourite. The stricken panic, the urgency. The anger directed at Cory.”
He gasped. “Please tell me you deleted them.”
I chuckled. “I haven’t yet. But I will if you want me to.”
“Yes, please.”
“Okay. Oh, and I had another visitor at work today.”
“Oh?”
“Megan Morano. She came in to introduce herself. Said I could be working with you in the future or for other listings that aren’t yours.”
“Eek! Is that a good thing?”
“Very good. I get to work with you, and the possibility of steady contracts. That’s amazing! I should thank you.”
He hummed, all sexy. “You can. Anytime.”
I groaned. “Not helping.”
He let out a sigh. “What are you doing right now?”
“I’m on my couch, watching some crap on Netflix I can’t even remember the name of, and I’m eating a supermarket salad for dinner. I’m in my sad, single gay era, apparently.”
He was quiet for a beat. “Single, huh?”
Oh shit.
“Uh . . . Well, um, technically, yes?”
He sighed. “Well, technically, yes. I guess that’s true. Given we haven’t discussed anything about expectations or labels...”
Holy shit.
We were actually having this conversation . . .
My heart rate was now staccato.
“I mean, we don’t have to,” he added quickly.
“I’d like to,” I said, unsure of how I even managed to speak. “I wasn’t really expecting this conversation, but now that we’rehaving it, I think we could talk about expectations. I mean, I’d like to. If you want to?”
