The eleven-fifteen at the top of Shae’s phone was taunting her. It didn’t stop her from smiling as she respondedthough.

Who can sleep throughthat?
Ha. True. Yousleep.
We’ll reconvenetomorrow.
You might laugh, but I have toask.
Does this mean we’re going on adate?
Or is this like a friendhang?
I’d love for it to be adate,
But if you’d rather meet up asfriends,
I’m cool with that. We haven’t seen eachother
in a while. We can catchup.
Shae had plenty of friends. She didn’t need more, not likethis.
Let’s call it adate.
Okay. It’s adate.
Well since we have thatsettled
I should head tobed.

“Yes, definitely time for bed. Don’t want to fuck this up by saying anything else,” she said outloud.
Absolutely.
