"So?" I asked Collin, as he answered my phone call on my way to work. "What time is it?" he asked in a groggy voice. "7:30," I dismissed. "We have more important matters to discuss." "In the morning?" he groaned. "So?" I repeated. "So?" he asked me in return. "What's the plan for tomorrow night?" I squealed, unable to contain my excitement. "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise," he informed me, amusement lacing his groggy voice. "Surprises are overrated." He laughed, his voice picking up now. "Is that so?" "Yes! Now just tell me." "My lips are sealed. The zipper and everything." "You're such a goof," I said, with a sigh. "I believe that's why you love me." "Well you believe incorrectly." He paused for a moment, and I couldn't help but wonder if he thought I was serious.
