Without overthinking, Zoe answered. “Hello? Who’s this?”
A bartender’s smooth voice responded, “Zoe, it’s me, the guy who asked for your number recently. Are you free for a date now?”

I couldn’t help but laugh, replying firmly, “No.”
“Why not?” Caleb feigned a pout.
I replied playfully, “I have no interest in midnight star gazing and battling mosquitoes. Would you Like to offer yourself as their feast instead?”
“Actually, I agree with you.” Caleb grinned, suddenly lifting me into his arms.
