Fuck.
After I left the house, I got an idea.I couldn’t show up empty-handed, so I drove to the nearest convenience store.They didn’t have flowers, but they had something even better—ice cream.They carried Amy’s favorite, and I bought two containers.
On the short drive to her place, I kept thinking about this afternoon.Damn it.I’d handled it all wrong.
I parked in front of her house.As I walked to her front door, I heard music booming from inside and Amy singing at the top of her lungs.I knocked on the door twice, but she didn’t hear me.Then I rang the bell.She didn’t hear that either, so I checked to see if it was unlocked.It was, so I just opened the door.
What a sight!She was holding a broom, using it as a makeshift microphone.She was singing as loud as she could, eyes closed, moving her ass from side to side as she held a glass of white wine in her free hand.
“Hello, gorgeous!”I shouted over the music.

Knox
Amy stopped abruptly, straightening up with her mouth agape.Instead of heading to me, she walked quickly, a bit awkwardly, to the kitchen counter.I realized she was looking for her phone when she tapped the screen and the music stopped.
“Knox, what are you doing here?”she asked, setting her glass down, kind of out of breath.I watched her chest heave up and down and knew there was no question that I loved this woman.
I held up the two containers of ice cream.“I brought treats.”
She was wearing one of those fantastic two-piece pajama outfits again—shorts and a tank top.Her nipples pushed through the fabric, already beckoning to me.
“You brought my favorites,” she whispered as I handed them to her.She put them on the counter and avoided my gaze.
“Amy, I was a fucking idiot today.”
She looked up at me.“Yes, you were.”She smacked my shoulder.“What the hell is wrong with you?You had me so fucking worried!”
“You’re angry,” I said in surprise.
“Yes, I am!Here we were making plans for my moving in, and then you tell me that you got carried away!Whodoesthat?”
I frowned at her.“Did you cancel the movers?”
“No!”
