I’ll talk to you in the morning?
Lainey
I hope so.
Me
Good night, Lainey.
Lainey
Get some sleep.
FORTY-FOUR

Present Day
Me
I know you never sleep, so I’m just checking in to see if you got any last night.
Rhett
I don’t know how, but I got about six hours. That’s more than I’ve slept in years. You’re doing something to me …
I do know that when I finally get to fall asleep with you in my arms, knowing I’ll wake up next to you, I’ll sleep even more.
Me
I want that too. Trust me.
Are you at work?
Rhett
I’ve been here for over an hour. So much to do for this Iceland build-out.
Just throwing this out there … I think you should come with me.
Me
To Iceland?
Rhett
Yes.
Me
You’re not kidding, are you?
Rhett
Not even a little.
Listen, I know you just told me that you aren’t going to move in with me within a week—LOL—but I’m not leaving for a few months. That gives you plenty of time to think about it. By then, who knows? Maybe you’ll be ready to live with me.
