Was it okay she came over?

Totally fine

Can’t be any worse than having our grandmas there

Oh, they’re off at bridge night

I was told not to wait up for them

Of course

Hopefully we don’t have to bail them out of jail

That’s on you if we have to do it

Maybe a night in the slammer will do them some good

I’m confused now

Are we hoping they get arrested now?

Maybe

But not if I lose my childcare

I’ll make sure Caleb is taken care of

Then let’s hope for it

Fingers crossed

Speaking of fingers crossed…

I was actually hoping you might want to go out when I get home

Like…a date?

Yes, like a date, Stevie

I want to take you out on a date

Holy shit.Bode wants to takemeout on a date? Oh God. I try not to let the panic overwhelm me. I can’t scream or freak out because Caleb has fallen back asleep in my arms.

I don’t remember the last real date I went on. When I met my last boyfriend, we went on a handful of dates and then I moved in. It devolved into a few meals here and there at home and occasional orgasms. For him, never me.

The thought of going out with Bode? What if he gets to know the real me and doesn’t like me? Whatever good feelings I had from earlier tonight are being pushed to the side by nerves.

Stevie

Omg!

Crestina

What?

Bode asked me on a date!!

Me!
