ME: I thought maybe we could meet up for a
drink and set a date for you to come out to the Iron H?
WILD GIRL: Well, I already told them I was just
going to pay double and not do the cowboy thing.
You’re off the hook.
ME: My boss said they told you no.
That I have to give you the whole cowboy experience.
I don’t want to get in trouble.
We could meet for dinner instead of a drink.
WILD GIRL: Boone, I don’t know why you would want to do this.
You don’t like me. Why are you pushing this?
ME: Why the hell do you think I don’t like you, wildflower?
WILD GIRL: Wildflower?
ME: Autocorrect
WILD GIRL: Sure.
ME: We can talk about this at dinner. I’m picking you up at 7
WILD GIRL: I DIDN’T SAY YES
WILD GIRL: BOONE
WILD GIRL: UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wildflower? I can’t believe I used that old name and then tried to pass it off as autocorrect. I’m such an idiot. I glance at my watch. It’s five-thirty. That gives me an hour to shower, get ready, and get some flowers before picking her up at seven. This isn’t a date or maybe it is. Hell, I don’t know what I’m doing.

What is that crazy man thinking? He hasn’t responded again and it’s getting dangerously close to seven. Is he really just gonna show up at my house and expect to go out to dinner?
Well, he’s in for a surprise. I didn’t agree to dinner, so I came home from work, put on sweatpants and an old T-shirt with no bra, and threw my hair up in a messy bun. Now, I’m rethinking my plan. What if he shows up and I look like this?
I start toward my bedroom, thinking about what’s not dirty and could be considered date clothes when there’s a knock at my front door.
“Shit. I hope that’s a door-to-door salesman,” I mutter to myself as I slowly make my way to the door.
I peek through the peephole and wish for the world to swallow me hole. This. This is why people think I’m flighty and a little crazy. “Can you come back in about thirty minutes?” I yell through the door.
“No,” he answers with a laugh.
I yank the door open, “why the hell not?”
“Because I’m here now,” Boone steps into my doorway and I back up a step. “You look amazing, wildflower.”
