Celena
Oh honey. You didn’t.
Gray
I did and I’m not sorry.
Celena sends a laughing emoji.
Celena
You’re supposed to be flirting with the dude from InSync, not your hockey player.
Gray
I’m meeting that guy for dinner on Sunday before I go to Ash’s. That way if the date is bad, I have an excuse to leave.
Celena
{{Eyeroll emoji}} Glad to see you’re giving him a chance.
Gray
Sorry. Just having a hard time feeling excited about all this. I’m starting to remember how much I hate online dating.
Celena
Would you rather go to a bar and pick up drunk guys?
Gray
The last romance novel I read involved a woman falling in love with her stalker. Why is that not an option?
Celena
Because in real life we call that a ‘red flag’ sweety.
Gray
Whatever.
The InSync app on my phone dings with a message notification, and I switch over to it.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday. What’s your address?
I frown.
Gray
Why do you need my address?
There’s a short pause before his answer comes through.
ManOfYourDreams89
So I can pick you up.
