That’s fine.
Kennedy Caplan
And my niece.
Surely there’s a limit to how agreeable he’ll be about meeting my family members. Two of them, sure, but three? That’s a perfectly reasonable boundary for the man I’ve been fake dating for… damn, has it really only been a few months?
Cameron Davies
Any cats or dogs?
Kennedy Caplan
No…
Cameron Davies
Okay, then since I’m allergic to those but not your sister, brother-in-law, or niece, I’m not quite seeing the issue.
Despite my irritation, my mouth curves into a reluctant smile.
Kennedy Caplan
The issue is that meeting my family is kind of a big deal SINCE WE ARE IN A FAKE RELATIONSHIP. And you responded with a THUMBS-UP.
Cameron Davies
Would you have preferred the heart eyes emoji? Because I can resend if that helps.
Kennedy Caplan
I CAN’T READ YOUR MOOD THROUGH THE PHONE, CAMERON. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
Cameron Davies
Do all caps mean you’re yelling at me?
Kennedy Caplan
YES. VERY LOUDLY. AND WITH LOTS OF HAND GESTURES.
Cameron Davies
Cool. Just making sure.
Kennedy Caplan
WELL?
Cameron Davies
It’s not a big deal, Kennedy.
That simple response only makes my heart pound harder. Not a big deal? Is he kidding me?
Kennedy Caplan
SHE’S GOING TO ASK QUESTIONS, CAM. LOTS OF THEM. IF YOU THINK I’M INVASIVE, WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET HER.
