I want your first 800 words on Mister Romance on my desk by next week.

Derek.

Oh, goody. Right now, that will be eight-hundred words of filler and bullshit, and I don’t think Derek would be pleased with that.

I type my reply.

Sure thing, bossman! I’m on it!

I sign it with three happy faces, just to piss him off.

I’m still wracking my brain for a solution ten minutes later when my phone lights up with Max’s name.

I answer with, “Unless you start being more forthcoming, I’m going to give you a very unfavorable review on Yelp, Mister Romance.”

There’s an amused chuckle before he says, “Well, good morning to you, too. Would you like some cheese to go with that whine?”

“I’m serious, Max. I agreed to your conditions, and you promised me full disclosure, but so far all I’ve gotten is a lot of talk and a night with a non-existent musician. I need more.”

“Such as?”

“Your history. A list of your clients. Testimonials. Interviews. You know, the usual stuff a journalist needs for a story. I have so many questions about why these ladies are so dedicated to you and how they feel about the whole situation. You telling me how they feel and me hearing it from their own mouths are two totally different things.”

“I’ve told you before, my clients won’t divulge anything to a journalist. Apart from the non-disclosure agreements they all signed, talking to you will jeopardize their identities.”

“Then you’d better come up with something that will help me, because I’m on a deadline, and I need to start showing results. If I get kicked from this story, I have no doubt Derek will put someone else on it, and you’ll lose whatever leverage you’ve gained with the whole being nice and taking care of me routine.”

“You honestly can’t comprehend I did that because I care, can you?”

“Pure intentions from a man who manipulates women for a living? Sure. That makes perfect sense. Now, about my story ...”

He pauses then says, “I have an idea that might work, and coincidentally, it meshes with the plans I had for our second date.”

“I’m listening.”

“I want to do an immersive date with you, which means you’ll also play a character.”

“Oh, Max, I don’t know. I’m not much of an actress. The only theatrical experience I’ve had is playing second turnip from the left in my third-grade nativity scene, and even then I was so nervous, I almost peed.”

“There’s nothing to be nervous about. None of my clients are actresses. You’ll be fine. Although, if you still have that turnip costume somewhere, let me know. I can always find a way to work it in.”

I laugh, and it’s a real, pure, girly laugh. I throw my head back and everything. Oh, Lord. What’s become of me?

“Be available Friday night,” he says. “I’ll send through details shortly.”

“Will I need to wear pants and a bra?” I ask. “Because that’s a whole other level of commitment right there, and I don’t know if I’m ready to be that intimate with you yet.
