Two days later…

Reed: Why the fuck did you send me a photo of your feet?

Me: I painted my toenails. Do you like the color?

Reed: Sure. Red is hot. Got any matching lingerie?

Me: Creepy

Reed: Sorry for being MIA. Went out of town for a couple of days. Media stuff.

Me: How was it?

Reed: Ok. Kael was in fine form. Got drunk at the corporate lunch. He can be such a dick sometimes.

Me: That sucks.

Reed: What are you doing later?

Me: How much later?

Reed: Say, seven o’clock?

Me: That depends on why you’re asking.

Reed: I want to take you somewhere.

Me: Where?

Reed: Christ Tink. You’re no fun. Just be ready at 7.

Me: You’re not going to tell me where we’re going?

Reed: Nope.

Me: What should I wear?

Reed: Comfy. Casual. Pants with elastic.

Me: ???

Reed: Just be ready at 7.

Me: Ok. See you then.

“Dude, come on…” Yes. I’ve resorted to whining. “Please, for the love of God will you tell me where we are going?”

“New Jersey.”

I swivel in the passenger seat and stare across at Reed sitting behind the wheel of his Jeep, a little dumbfounded. Looks like I finally wore him down. Good for me.

“New Jersey?”

“Yes.” He nods, tapping out a beat with his fingers on the steering wheel. I don’t recognize the song he’s listening to, but it’s catchy and I like it.

“Why?”
