Twitterpated
It’s a You’ve Got Mail homage, but with Twitter and lawyers instead of AOL and bookstores.
Excerpt
But before she could open the door, doubt seized him. Wait. This is creepy, isn’t it? What if she isn’t even here? Her assistant said she was out, maybe she’s just at a deposition or something. Oh shit, abort, abort, abort— He was halfway down the hall, almost free, when he heard her voice.
“Owen? Is that you?”
Slowly, he spun around. “Uh, hey.”
“Is this…soup?” She sounded perfectly healthy, and when he turned around he saw the cylindrical container clutched in her left hand.
“Yeah, uh…” he looked around, hoping a hellmouth would open and swallow him whole, but he was completely out of luck. “I called your office this morning and they said you were out, and I thought you might be sick, and I, uh, jumped to about fifteen assumptions that were clearly incorrect,” he stammered.
Victoria bit her lower lip but couldn’t quite smother her smile. “You thought I was sick and you brought me soup?”
“Yes?” he said, answering her grin with his own hesitant one.
She shook her head and gestured towards her door. “Come on in, then.”
So happy for you!
