I was.
“Structure lasts longer,” I added.
She nodded slowly.
“Okay… structure,” she repeated. “And with that kind of success comes attention. A lot of people have also been paying attention to your personal life.”
I almost smiled.

“Have they?” I asked.
“You recently came out of a… very public relationship,” she said carefully.
Translation:Messy.
I didn’t shift. Didn’t react.
“Public to who?” I asked.
“Well… social media, blogs?—”
“I don’t live there,” I said. “So social media don’t really apply to me.”
That got a small laugh out of her.
Because the truth was…
I had let my old situation go on longer than I should have. And I didn’t like anything that felt like I couldn’t control it.
“So where does that leave you now?” she asked. “Are you dating again? Taking time for yourself?”
I looked at her as I leaned forward just enough. “I think I’m done dating for fun.”
Her eyebrows lifted. “Oh?”
“Yeah. At this point, it’s either making sense… or it’s not happening at all.”
“That sounds serious,” she said, a little intrigued now.
“It is.”
She smiled, then tilted her head. “So… are you saying you’re ready to settle down?”
I shrugged.
“Might be time I pick a wife. Honestly… I might just hold auditions.”
Her eyes widened, a smile breaking into a laugh.
“Auditions?” she repeated.
I nodded once.
“Yeah. Applications. Interviews. Background checks. Full process. Y’all women be snitching and playing both sides. I gotta see what’s going on.”
She shook her head, laughing again. “You’re joking.”
