“Hello?” “Wednesday! You answered!” I ignore his new nickname for me, even though it is starting to grow on me a bit, not that I’m telling him that. “Why wouldn’t I answer?” He pauses. Clears his throat. “Well, because you’re madly in love with me, of course.” I laugh. Maybe a little loudly and a little too hard and a little too forced. “Keep dreaming, Lawson.”
