Chapter Thirty-Two
Scottie: You make it home?
Jason: Close. I’m at Jacob’s office. We’re talking with the team about the next steps.
Scottie: You’re not fully recovered.
Jason: Nope. But I’ve done most of the work. I can go back under the team doctor and let him finish what you started.
Scottie: Wow. Way to make it sound like I’m being replaced.
Jason: Never. No one could replace you. Pretty sure the team doctor doesn’t threaten to kick my ass when I slack on my exercises.
Scottie: You saying I’m mean?
Jason: I’m saying you’re terrifying. In a good way. Like a hot personal trainer who might also steal my dog if I don’t behave.
Scottie: :rolling-eyes: emoji
Jason: (And for the record, if I had a dog, they would totally leave me for you.)
Scottie: You’re changing the subject.
Jason: A little.
Jason: But seriously . . . I don’t want our relationship to cause problems for you at the clinic. Or blow up into a PR nightmare for either of us. You worked too hard to deal with my drama.
Scottie: Relationship.
Scottie: You’re getting ahead of yourself, Tate.
Scottie: I haven’t agreed to anything.
Jason: Not yet.
Jason: But I’m going to try my damn best to win you anyway.
Scottie: :upside-down: emoji
Jason: That’s not a no.
Scottie: It’s not a yes, either.
Jason: Challenge accepted.
Scottie: You’re impossible.
Jason: You’re irresistible.
Scottie: Stop texting me while you’re in a meeting.
Jason: Tell me you like me first, and I’ll behave.
Scottie: Goodbye, Jason.
Jason: :kissing-heart: emoji
