Several tense moments passed. Enough time that I was worried he wasn’t ever going to respond.
Had I overstepped? This wasn’t a casual conversation anymore. But he’d been the one to ask me about seeing some guy…
Finally, he replied.
TheWriteGuy
Yes.
ReadToLiv
Sorry. That was personal. I know we’ve mostly stuck to books.
TheWriteGuy
It’s okay. Some parts of Cassemir are me, but a lot aren’t.
ReadToLiv
That makes sense.
Where did your inspiration for Raelle come from?
TheWriteGuy
I’m not sure. I like strong, feisty female characters. Makes for a more interesting story.
I tried not to compare myself to Raelle, but our similarities nagged at me. Could that be why he liked messaging with me? I shook my head at that ridiculous thought.
ReadToLiv
So far, she’s my favorite character.
TheWriteGuy
Is that because she says whatever she thinks?
… Reminds me of someone …
A grin spread across my face.
ReadToLiv
I can’t imagine who …
TheWriteGuy
We spent another few minutes talking before he said he needed to get to bed because he had to be up early in the morning.
I didn’t know much aboutTheWriteGuy, but a man who wasn’t afraid to read and write fantasy romance and admired bold heroines? That was the type of guy I could get on board with.
In our earlier conversations we’d both admitted we were twenty-five and single. I only hoped he’d been truthful and wasn’t a middle-aged man hiding behind a BookPad username.
I fell asleep thinking aboutTheWriteGuy, our conversations, and what it would be like if we ever met in person.
The only problem was, every time I tried to picture him, Talon’s face would appear.
