Of course I understand if you can’t make it work, but if you can, I’d love to take you
How many people get to have the Australian wine scene’s hottest new columnist on their arm?
FIONA
You really are perfect, aren’t you?
FIONA
Thanks for spending so long chatting with Lex today
I know how busy you are x
SATOSHI
Lex and I are pals I always have time to chat with them
They didn’t say anything about Matt, in case you were wondering – we mostly just talked about books
In that they talked, I listened
FIONA
That’s how most discussions about books with Lex go
But thanks for listening – it means a lot to them, feeling like they’re being heard. Particularly on a day like today.
SATOSHI
How did it go?
If you want to talk about it, that is?
FIONA
TL;DR: about as well as could be expected
Lex stared at the screen and refused to say anything, and Matt got the girls so amped up about meeting their new siblings that they’re not going to talk about anything else for a week
Was so glad you and I managed to sneak some time today, even if it was just a couple of minutes making out in your office x
The way being with you lets me escape my life for a while always makes me feel so much better
SATOSHI
I don’t want to just help you escape your life, though
What if I came around to your place tonight after close?
I could sneak in after the kids are in bed, sneak out again in the early morning
Not angling for sex here, btw – just to literally sleep with you.
