We talk again the next night, and two nights after that. I text her a picture of the treed area just outside my office, and she sends back a cute-and-sexy selfie of her biting her lower lip.

We have phone sex the next night.

I make it a priority in my head to find a long weekend I can take off, but it may not be until September. Six weeks has never felt so long.

When Toby video calls on the weekend to run some ideas past me, he doesn’t waste time after we conclude our business chatter. He rocks back in his chair and gives me an amused look. “You sound less grumpy than the last time we talked. Anything to do with Poppy the Reporter?”

“Maybe. We’ve talked a few times this week.” For hours. “I like her. She’s smart.”

“That’s a good sign. When was the last time you liked another human being?”

“I like all sorts of people.”

He laughs.

“It feels like the real deal, though, crazy as that idea sounds,” I confess. “I want to make her a mixed tape.”

“Yeah, that’s not a thing anymore.”

“I know, I know. But like…a mixed CD. USB stick?”

He shakes his head. “Pretty sure kids these day just instant message each other a link to a Spotify playlist.”

“That takes zero effort.”

“Make a custom album cover for it.”

“You’ve ruined this idea.”

“Don’t blame me. And don’t blame the millennials, either, they’re the future.”

Stubborn optimist. “I regret telling you about Poppy.”

“So it’s not exactly casual?”

“I don’t know.” We got to third-base on a mountain top a few hours before she flew back to the east coast. And I haven’t seen her since, but the sound of her shy little orgasm is still ringing in my ear. “It’s complicated.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Distance.”

“Jesus, man, there’s an easy solution for that.”

“I don’t want to pressure her.”

“I’ve married the world’s least commitment-friendly woman, and even she liked the surprise appearance. Even if it’s just for a night or two of hooking up…everyone likes orgasms.”

“It’s not just hooking up.” I frown. I’m ninety-nine percent sure we’re on the same page there. “And I don’t want to talk about orgasms with you.”

“Oh, you’re serious serious.” He sits up straight, him and his chair both snapping to attention.

“I didn’t say that.” I let a half-grin escape at the corner of my mouth. “But yeah, maybe. I mean, I want to fly across the country to see her.”

“Do it. I did.”

“And you got married. That might be a little too fast for Poppy.”

He grins at me. “But not you?”

No, I don’t want to marry Poppy.

Not yet.

But the idea is not completely horrible. It’s actually very, very tempting.

Yeah, I need to get on an airplane and round that last base with my favorite reporter before Toby’s inappropriate strategies take hold and I do something stupid like buy a ring for a woman I’ve only known for a week and only spent a few hours with at that.

“I’ll fly out to see her soon, and that’ll solve that problem.”

“What are you waiting for?”

“Some of us have actual jobs, you know.
