This Summer
ALEX!â I SHRIEK at the sight of his Tinder profile. âNo!â
âWhat? What?â he says. âThereâs no way youâve read everything by now!â
âUm, first of all,â I say, brandishing his phone out in front of us, âdonât you think thatâs a problem? Your bio looks like the cover letter to a résumé. I didnât even know Tinder bios could be this long! Isnât there some kind of character limit? No one is going to read this whole thing.â
âIf theyâre really interested, they will,â he says, slipping the phone out of my hand.
âMaybe if theyâre interested in harvesting your organs, theyâll skim to the bottom just to make sure you donât mention your blood typeâdo you?â
âNo,â he says, sounding hurt, then adds, âjust my weight, height, BMI, and social security number. Is what I wrote good at least?â
âOh, weâre not talking about that just yet.â I pluck his phone from his hand again, angle the screen toward him, and zoom in on his profile picture. âFirst we have to talk about this.â
He frowns. âI like that picture.â
âAlex . . .â I say calmly. âThere are four people in this picture.â
âSo?â
âSo we have found the first and largest problem.â
âThat I have friends? I thought that would help.â
âYou poor innocent baby creature, freshly arrived to earth,â I coo.
âWomen donât want to date men who have friends?â he says dryly, disbelieving.
âOf course they do,â I say. âThey just donât want to play Dating App Roulette. How are they supposed to know which one of these guys is you? That guy on the left is, like, eighty.â
âBiology teacher,â he says. His frown deepens. âI donât really take pictures by myself.â
âYou sent me those Sad Puppy selfies,â I point out.
âThatâs different,â he says. âThat was for you . . . You think I should use one of those?â
âGod, no,â I say. âBut you could take a new picture where youâre not making that face, or you could crop one thatâs you and three biology teachers of a certain age so that itâs just you.â
âIâm making a weird face in that picture,â he says. âIâm always making a weird face in pictures.â
I laugh, but really, warm affection is growing in my belly. âYou have a face for movies, not photographs,â I say.
âMeaning?â
âMeaning youâre extremely handsome in real life, when your face is moving how it does, but when one millisecond is captured, yes, sometimes youâre making a weird face.â
âSo basically I should delete Tinder and throw my phone into the sea.â
âWait!â I jump out of bed and snatch my phone off the counter where I left it, then climb back up beside Alex, tucking my legs underneath me. âI know what you should use.â
He dubiously watches me scroll through my photos. Iâm looking for a picture from our Tuscany trip, the last trip before Croatia. Weâd been sitting outside on the patio, eating a late dinner, and he slipped away without a word. I figured heâd gone to the bathroom, but when I went inside to get dessert, he was in the kitchen, biting his lip and reading an email on his phone.
