Amelia, that man has been obsessed with you since the hot second you met on the plane. Last night when we were over, I don’t think he let you out of his reach for more than thirty seconds for the entire night. Safe to say he’s a tiny bit obsessed.

Me

It’s complicated.

Jo

These things always are. If it’s right, it’s all just details.

Me

They’re pretty important details.

Jo

I know. Just take it one day at a time. Okay, I really have no fucking clue what I’m talking about because I’m super impatient and I’m terrible at one day at a time, but it seemed like a better thing to say than, fuck the details, everything will work itself out.

Me

I think you’re my new favorite person.

Jo

Same goes, new friend. Okay, so book club next Tuesday night? We always try for a Tuesday because Tuesday is, objectively, the worst day of the week. Nothing fun ever happens on a Tuesday.

Me

I’m in.

Jo

YAY. I’m adding you to the group chat so stay tuned. I’ll text you everyone’s contact so you know who’s who.

Just one question—do you want me to keep your last name a secret? I mean the guys all know, obviously, but I don’t think anyone has told Pam or Cece.

Me

No, it’s not necessary. It was stupid to want to keep it a secret in the first place.

Jo

It really wasn’t. It can’t be easy trying to find your own place in the tech world when your brother looms so large. But for what it’s worth, you’re already amazing all on your own.

Me

Thanks for that. I really appreciate it.

Anyway, Cece already knows.

Jo

I bet you didn’t even have to tell her.

Me

Nope. I’ve only met her once, very briefly, but I think she might be magic.

Jo
