You’re always beautiful, pretty girl
But that’s why I was texting. I have to cancel. A friend of mine is doing flowers for a wedding in Vermont today and their assistant is sick. They asked if I could drive down to help them
I’m sorry
My omega pouted, but this was not rejection.
Lucy
Don’t apologize! Will you be back tomorrow?
Leo
They need help with flowers at the after-wedding brunch too so I probably won’t be back until Monday or Tuesday. Could I take you out for dinner on Wednesday?
I glanced at my calendar app and chewed my lip.
Lucy
I’m actually hosting a craft night on Wednesday. This first one is invitation only as I work out the kinks.
Would you want to come?
I’d love having you there
I squealed and tossed my phone after the last text left me feeling flayed open, but when it vibrated, I couldn’t curb my curiosity.
Leo
I am honored to get an invitation to such an exclusive event!! I’ll be there
Warmth rushed through me as I smiled like a fool. I loved that neither of us were trying to play it cool.
Lucy
Yay!
I hope the wedding goes well
Are you going to be ok? Like with your knee?
The second I sent the text, I cringed. I didn’t want him to think I was questioning how capable he was. I just hated the idea of him hurting.
Lucy
I hope that’s ok to ask
I obviously know you’re an amazing florist. And you’re super strong.
Big arm muscles
Leo
Tell me more about these big arm muscles
Lucy
Don’t fish for compliments
