Chapter 21: Date Night

Seth

Seth rolled over in his bed, dreading the day the minute he opened his eyes. It was date night.

He had tossed around several ideas in his head over the past few days to get out of going. Nothing seemed solid enough to break Kinley's heart, so he gave up on trying to figure something out.

He unplugged his phone and scrolled through his notifications. He had a text from Kinley. It said to call her as soon as he could.

He stumbled to the kitchen and threw on some coffee and opened the drapes to let the sunlight in. Sometimes it helped to get him going for the day. He doubted it would have that great of an effect on him today though.

"Kinley? You said to call? Are you okay?" Seth asked.

Her voice sounded hoarse on the other end.

"No, not really. I think I picked up a bug from a customer."

"Oh no. I am so sorry to hear that. I don't like that you don't feel well. What can I do?"

"Well, I don't want you sick," she said.
