Chapter 48

From Zane: I was serious about the condom.

From Audra: Wear the dark green shirt I bought you for your birthday.

Audra’s advice was sound, and solved the issue I had about what to wear. Zane’s was ridiculous, because I was the one who had given him the safe sex talks growing up. I responded that I loved them both, then abandoned the phone once again to finish getting dressed.

I retrieved the shirt and a black pair of slacks from my closet, both pristinely pressed and without a single wrinkle. I laid them on the end of the bed, then tossed my towel into the hamper and pulled on a pair of briefs. But as I reached for my pants, a sudden case of nerves had me stilling and breathing slowly.
