That dinner … there are no words. I ate my weight in Wagyu, and I regret nothing. And the sides? I don’t know what they put in that sweet potato casserole, but I will never recover from it. This next sentence is said with a screamy voice: I can’t believe you paid for my dinner. Also screaming: You shouldn’t have done that. Now with a loving voice: But it was so, so sweet of you. Thank you isn’t enough, but it’s all I have.
Me
More sweetness …
Lily
I can’t help it. You’re like the chocolate lava cake I’m still inhaling—mouthwateringly sweet.
Me
God, you’re fucking cute.
Lily
Can I tell you what I hate?
Me
I suppose it’s your turn. Go.
Lily
That when I’m in my room later, you won’t be at the hotel to knock on my door.
Me
Don’t tease me, Lily. You know I’ll get on a plane right now and come to Vegas.
Lily
Would you really?
Me
For you, in a fucking second.
Lily
If I wasn’t coming back to LA tomorrow, I might ask you to do that. But I’ll get to see you once you leave work, and I’ll get to spend the night with you, and I’ll get to kiss you whenever I want. So, I think I can wait. It’ll be difficult, LOL, but I’ll make it.
Me
The places I want to kiss you …
Lily
Good night, B. Have the sweetest dreams.
Me
B … yes, I like that. Good night, baby.
Lily
