Jessica rushed to clarify. “That's not what | meant—"
Melvin finished her thought. “And when you meet someone you actually like, we call it quits?”
Jessica rubbed her temples. Maybe what she said coff that way, but it was not her real goal. All she really
wanted was a simple title, something that would make it easier to invite him out and keep things from feeling

me.”
Jessica found it almost too easy to convince him. Her tone grew lighter.
“You're actually serious about this?”

“lam.”
“Don’t you worry this will keep you from meeting someone else?”
“I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.” Melvin’s answer was blunt. At the moment, his only real priority
was his career. Family life was nowhere on his checklist.
With a thoughtful look, Jessica said,

Jessica couldn't resist asking, “If any other woman tried this, would you go along with it?”
