I might be able to get some great ideas from them.
I did a quick Internet search and found a group that met the next afternoon. I could go to the meeting before my date with Spence. It might even put me in a better mood to enjoy his company.
I was glad that Max had talked me out of hopping right into things with Ben.
I did feel that I needed to see where things might potentially go with Spence. He was rough around the edges, but I hoped that underneath he and I might have a deeper connection.
Before I went to bed, I checked my e-mail. I was surprised not to see anything from Blue. I felt like things were starting all over again. He was pulling back—not responding, even though I’d finally given him what he wanted. Then again, maybe he’d been put off by the harshness of my e-mail.
I went to bed with that battle going on in my mind.
When I woke up the next morning, I had to fight the urge to check my e-mail right away. I didn’t want to be drawn back into the chaos of waiting for communication from Blue.
As I headed for my computer with a cup of coffee, my phone chimed.
I picked it up to see a message from Ben.
I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon. Just wanted to see how you’re doing today? I hope you’re having a great morning.
I smiled at the sweetness of the text. It meant a lot to me that Ben went out of his way to connect with me. As I went to text him back, I noticed that there was an e-mail from Blue on my computer screen. I got distracted and nearly dropped my phone into my cup of coffee. I managed to catch it right before it slipped into the hot liquid, but I mashed a few buttons in the process. I scowled at the computer screen as if Blue could see my displeasure. After all, it was his fault that I’d almost dropped my phone.
I sent a quick text back to Ben.
Thanks for the check-in. I’m looking forward to our date too. Thanks for the note. I hope you are having a great day too.
Chapter 27
I sat down and was about to open the e-mail from Blue when I received a text back. I smiled again at how responsive Ben was, but when I checked my phone the text was from Max.
We have a date?
I cringed as I realized that I’d sent the text to Max by mistake. I must have switched to his text log when I caught the phone.
So sorry, that was meant for Ben.
Oh, no good morning for me?
I laughed and shook my head. Between Ben, Blue, and Max, I was beginning to see that dating could be a bit of a juggle.
Good morning, Max. I hope you’re having a great day.
I smiled as I sent the text.
Thanks. I am now.
He added a little heart emoticon. I tried not to roll my eyes. Max could be a little cheesy on the phone.
I turned back to my computer. The e-mail from Blue was short and sweet.
Samantha,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be there. I know I’ve said it before, but I will be there. We will talk about everything then. Thank you for giving me another chance.
Blue
I frowned and wondered if I’d done the right thing. At least he’d responded.
I pushed the thought out of my mind and tried to write for a while.
Around midday I took a break to shower. I dressed for the writing group and the date that I’d head to after. The slip dress was a bit much for a writing group, but it would be nice for the date.
Spence had texted me to let me know that he was taking me on the Starlight Ferry. It was a ferryboat that ran the length of a local river and back with live music, a small dinner, and plenty of starlight. I’d always wanted to go on it, but had never had a date that wanted to go. Max had offered once, because he knew that I wanted to go, but it was not the type of thing you did with a best friend. It was far too romantic. I was pretty excited about experiencing it.
I could have sent a note back to Blue, but I decided against it. I was going to leave him alone until our date. I wanted him to prove himself by showing up, so I
