"So, um, can I go shopping with you?" asked Samantha.
"Oh, are you just eager to meet me, or are you hoping for a changing room encounter?"
Oh god, did I just say that?! He really was getting bolder.
After a long pause, she replied in a hopeful tone, "Um, would that be so bad?"
Wow. Did his soul strength affect her even over the phone, or did she understate things when she said she'd "had" a crush on him? Did he want her to meet Miranda and her mom so soon?
Her claim to being turned on by his budding harem made him want to meet her even more.
After some thought, he decided, why not?
He chuckled, then said, "No, it would not. Okay, if you want to join us, message me your address and I'll pick you up on the way."
"Really?! Um, I was just, um, yes. Okay. Okay. Sure. Um, how long?"
She probably wanted to know if she had time to "prepare," or whatever it was girls did just before a date.
