I have some questions.

A response comes through almost immediately.

Silas

Good timing. I just finished in the gym. Fire away.

I take a seat on the couch, fingers flying over my phone’s keyboard.

Me

Where did you sleep last night?

Silas

On the couch.

Me

I didn’t leave you any blankets.

Silas

I found some in the closet.

Me

Where are they now?

Silas

Back in the closet.

Me

LOL. A well-trained man. Now, there’s something you don’t see every day.

Silas

It’s not about being well trained or a gentleman. It’s about being respectful.

Something about Silas’s last message has me biting down on my bottom lip.

Silas

Next question.

Me

Why the mermaid?

Silas

You’ll do a great job of it, and when I next stop by, I can take a look and give you a score out of ten.

Me

When you next stop by. That’s pretty presumptuous, wouldn’t you say?
