But her point stands.
Every instinct is telling me the reasons to say no to starting things with this man.
He’s not a part of my plan. The humiliation I would face at work if things went sideways is too much to bear. But…
“You don’t have to tell us,” Sienna starts, “but I can see the wheels spinning. Think about it, okay?”
“Okay.”
The conversation moves to Sienna’s date, but I focus on her request.
One reason to say yes?
Every voice in my head is shouting at me that Tag is not in the plans.
Say no, Liv.
They won’t push the issue if you don’t want to see this man again, but I will.
Like they said, what harm could come in having some fun?

Liv,
Are you always so formal in emails? It’s cute. Kind of like the way you spell finalize with an s. I suppose one of the many things I have to get used to now that I’m in England.
Call me Tag.
