Madelyn: Do you always have sex on the brain?

Canaan: No but when you look sexy I can’t help myself

Madelyn: I thought you were sleeping. Did I wake you?

Canaan: No. I’ve been tossing and turning. Can’t sleep

Madelyn: Why?

Canaan: We assisted at a bad accident last night. It was scary. I’ve been worried if the couple would make it or not

Madelyn: Cane…are you okay?

Canaan: I’m fine. It’s hard when situations are intense

Madelyn: Do you wanna talk about it?

Canaan: Nah. What are you doing? Out with the Dakota?

Madelyn: Yup. Enjoying the morning

Canaan: I’m glad. And yeah, I do like riding. Both kinds. But you’re my favorite ride

Madelyn: You’re ridiculous lol

I laugh at his message, warmth spreading around me. I look forward to any time I get to spend with him, even if it’s a silly text message conversation.

Canaan: Ridiculous or not, you like me

Madelyn: I can’t deny it

Canaan: How did the carpenter win over the cowgirl?

Madelyn: Here we go with the bad jokes

Canaan: Using his hammer

Madelyn: Oh my goodness. I think this is the worst one yet.

I laugh out loud at his joke. They’re so bad, but they always make me laugh. Dakota lifts her head and looks at me. I wave her off, promising I’m okay.

Canaan: I bet you’re laughing though

Madelyn: I can’t stop. That was horrible

Madelyn: And the carpenter didn’t win the cowgirl over with his hammer. It was his personality and heart

Canaan: It was the jokes, right?

Madelyn: I’ll never tell. It’ll just encourage you to keep going

I tease him, hoping he never stops. As terrible as they are, I look forward to them. It’s so him.

Canaan: I’ll make sure to keep coming up with them

Canaan: I’ll write them all in a book. That’s what I should do! I’m a genius

Madelyn: Lol you’re something all right, but I like you so don’t change
