I have no idea what he’s doing at first.

After that amazing photo shoot he takes me over to a secluded spot and we sit down underneath this huge tree. It’s a sunny afternoon, and the tree is providing just enough shade for me to put my sunglasses away and get out of the heat for a few minutes. We sit down, him to my right, and he pulls out his phone.

“You miss a call?” I ask.

“Nope. I’d never use this thing for real when I was out with you. There’s no one else I want to talk to more than you, trust me.”

“Awww. That’s sweet.”

“It’s true. I use my phone as much as the next indie romance author, but I can also put it away and not feel totally naked. And I’d never use it on a date.”

“Then why’d you take it out? More pictures?”

“Not for that, either,” he says. “I could never hold a candle to those pics G took—I wouldn’t even try. It’s not for calling, texting, or pictures.”

“And no social media,” I say, I finishing his thought. “What else do you use a phone for?”

“Writing,” he says. “I like to write on my phone.”

“You write books on your phone?”

“Yeah,” he answers. “Well, not whole books. At least not in a while. I wrote most of my first two on my phone, believe it or not. I guess that explains where my carpal tunnel comes from. My hands could never take that kind of abuse now, but I still use it for certain passages, or words that just come to me when I least expect them to. Those are some of the gems—the unexpected words.”

“That’s cool,” I say. “Are you inspired to write at the moment?”

“I was actually planning on reading to you, not writing. If you’d like me to.”

This might be the sweetest date I’ve ever been on, and Colton is easily the sweetest guy. When I asked him for an original date I was thinking we’d go play laser tag or something. But he really took what I asked to heart and went out of his way to make it not just special, but memorable.

“Oh, wow, what’s up for story time?”

“A little selection from my WIP.”

A WIP stands for a work in progress, and authors sometimes release parts of them online to keep readers excited and engaged for whatever it is they’re working on. Colton hasn’t put any of his new book out there for readers to look at, so I’m really honored that he wants to read some of it to me right now. There’s something exciting about being the only one out there who’s gotten to hear the latest Colton Chase excerpt.

“That would be incredible, Colt. What’s it called again?”

“The Gentle Art. It’s about this fighter who’s trying to make it to the UFC by working his way up the amateur mixed martial arts circuit, but he faces all sorts of obstacles along the way.”

“Like what?” I ask.

“Like family drama, a bad trainer, and most of all, a crazy ex.
