"Hmm mm," I say sleepily not realizing that my eyes are getting heavy.

"I was wondering if we might be able to arrange for us to meet in person."

I sit up a little at his words, suddenly feeling slightly more awake. My heart is thudding in my chest as I look at him, staring at me.In person.Is he being serious?

"Kyran, I-"

And then, my phone dies.

Kyran & Weslyn

12:16am

Shit. I'm so sorry. My phone died.

I figured. It's fine.

But I do still want to talk about an in-person date.

That sounds kind of serious, Kyran. How would we manage that? We're in different states. Is that really something you would wanna do?

Yeah, I am serious. It's not hard for me to get on a plane, Weslyn.

You would do that?

Yes, I would. I would really like to meet you. I think it's the right time.

Kyran…

I'm being serious. I have the means to do that, and it's not something you have to think too hard about. If you want it, I'll make it happen.

The ball is in your court.

Okay, well I do really want to meet you too but I don't want it to be a hassle for anyone. So I'll think about it.

It won't be a hassle, Weslyn but I guess that's all I ask.

Text me when you land in Texas?

Of course. Goodnight, Weslyn.

Goodnight, Kyran.

Just landed, flight was delayed a bit. Waiting for a car now, my client is already pissed I'm late. Hope you're sleeping like a baby.

I just woke up. I will fight your client for you. Just kidding, I can't even speak up to my boss. But I hope the meeting goes smoothly.

You're cute. But currently, it's a nightmare.

Why did he need you there in the first place?

He's going on a cruise next year, and he's terrified he'll get lost at sea or be eaten by a shark.
