‘Meet me at The Blackwell Hotel by 8:00 p.m. Room 212.’
The text from him hit my phone on Saturday morning, after my encounter with him in his office yesterday. Not a request. Just a command. My pulse spikes as I stare at the message, my thumb hovering over it, thinking about the way I’ve led him here, how I teased, and dared him for weeks. I know every coldness in his replies, every careful word he’s chosen whenever he speaks to me, to convince himself he isn’t thinking about me. But I’ve proven him wrong anyway.
