The best thing happened yesterday, and I think it’s all because of you.

My heart flutters inside my chest.

Matteo

Oh yeah? What happened?

Sunny

I had a meeting with my agent, which ended up also being a meeting with my editor at the publishing house. They loved the idea. She took it to her team immediately.

I just got off a call with them.

They want the book. I got the deal.

I slowly lean back in my seat, crossing my ankles as I stretch out my legs. This is great news. This is everything she was hoping for.

Matteo

That’s amazing. Congratulations!

Did you go with the idea we came up with?

Sunny

It’s similar.

I tilt my head to the side, chewing on her words.

I wonder which idea from our Sunday night brainstorming session she ended up going with, if the idea is only a similar one.

Matteo

When I’m back in town, I want to take you out to celebrate.

Sunny

You don’t have to do that.

We have a deal. A pact. It’s nothing more than that. I can take her out to celebrate without it meaning something different.

Matteo

What if I told you I want to?

We agreed until the end of the season, right?

Sunny

Yes.

Matteo

Then let me take you out to celebrate.

You can use the night for inspiration.

Sunny
