Elevator Pitch

Page 83

by Evelyn Leigh

Me

Well, I’ll stop interrupting your reading.

I’m about to go do the same.

Greyson

Will you be in the nook?

I smile at that question.

Me

Yes, I will.

Greyson

Send me a picture when you get settled. I’d like to see you enjoying the fruits of my labor.

I get nervous and start running through excuses in my head.

Me

I just got off a plane and I’m not all done up.

Greyson

Selah, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Send the picture. I’ll be waiting.

That shut me up for sure. I take a look in the mirror and I look fine. I grab my blanket and my e-reader, calling out for Peach to join me as I leave my office door open. I get cozy in my chair and melt into the cushions, pulling up my most recent read. I grab my phone and angle it to take a picture of myself with the nook in the background. I don’t do anything silly; I opt for flirty facial expressions and once I settle on two I like, I send them to Greyson and quickly shove my phone face down.

I pick up where I left off on my reader and moments later, I hear a few repeated dings that make my heart race. I don’t know why I’m afraid to look at his response.

Greyson

Good girl. Like I said, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

Have a great night, Sunflower.

Me

Goodnight, Greyson.

Thanks again.

Greyson

Anytime :)

that dreaded ‘c-word’

Selah

Manhattan NY | January 17, 2024

My sessionwith Dr. Garnett today was vastly different than usual. We had a lot to discuss, and I prepared her by being honest about what’s changed since our last session. I neglected to mention the hookup since I was anxious about my trip. I felt it was best to not start with the elephant in the room, so I led with Portland before explaining the recent developments with Greyson.
