Me
Debatable.
Tom
Fair. But I stand by it.
I glance down at my phone, aware of the warmth creeping up my neck and choosing not to pretend it’s nothing.
Me
You’re flirting.
Tom
I am aware. Which is probably against our agreement to not repeat the… “kitchen”.
Me
Probably.
There’s a pause where I stare at the screen longer than necessary, thumb hovering like it’s waiting for permission.
Me
I should probably tell you to stop.
Tom
You could.
Me
I’m considering it.
Tom
You’re taking your time.
Me
I am.
I exhale slowly.
Me
For what it’s worth, thank you. For the compliment. Even if it was very much outside the agreed terms.
Tom
You’re welcome. And noted.
Me
Weshould behave.
Tom
