“I miss you!” Jake exclaims into the phone on the first dial. He sounds thrilled that I’m calling. “I’ve been to the gym, been out for a run, and done everything and anything to not think about you! It’s not working, though… I miss you so badly.

A bubble of joy lifts from my chest at the warm welcome, and the turbulent anxiety in my stomach evaporates. I needed to hear sweet words after what Dana told me, and Jake delivered.

“I’m glad you’ve missed me,” I mutter into the phone, grumpy because even though I don’t want to think Dana was right, it’s still upsetting me. She threw a curveball at me with her words, and I wet my lips, needing to speak out. “Say, you don’t think I’m a gold digger, do you?”

“What?” Jake laughs, amused that this is the first thing I ask him on the phone. No, why would I think that? But… if you were, would it really matter, though?”

Now it’s my turn to laugh. “You wouldn’t care if I were a gold digger?”

“I like to spoil you.”

I roll my eyes even though he can’t see. I’m going to become a successful attorney and won’t need you to spoil me soon. Independent and all that crap, that will be me.”

“Soon is in a few years, and with me, you won’t need to worry about student loans and noodles while you’re an intern.”

“I’m not letting you pay my student loans and food—uh-uh, no way. We haven’t even been together for that long. You’re not stepping up as my sugar daddy.”

“Hmm,” Jake hums in a playful tone. “I kinda like you calling me daddy, though…

“Oh, stop it, you! You’re making me blush,” my cheeks are burning, but I’m smiling too. He is definitely a daddy, but I can’t make his ego too big while on the phone. “Hey, not to change the subject or anything, but how do you feel about skydiving with me?”

Jake laughs in surprise. “Are you joking right now? Skydiving? Really?”

“No? I’m not joking. I thought it would be a fun activity for us to do. I have a couple of free weeks before I start as an intern. You’re not scared of heights, are you, big man?”

“Of course not!” Jake’s voice doesn’t sound very convincing, and when I laugh at him, he sighs. “Maybe a little? Skydiving sounds extreme. I wouldn’t feel very manly after I shat my pants…”

“Fair enough… how about kayaking?”

“Down a stream?” He asks.
