“Some chores. A little paperwork. Maybe grocery shopping. Dinner at my parents’ house later.”
“With everyone?”
“Yes.” I wish you could come too.
“Say hello for me.”
“Maybe one of these Sundays, you could join us. You and Scotty.”
“Maybe.” But he didn’t sound that hopeful. “I better get us out the door. Don’t want to be late for Mass.” He lowered his voice. “Bad enough I’m showing my face there after everything I did to you last night.”
I laughed. “I’m looking at my refrigerator right now.”
“Is there a dent in it?”
“Probably several.”
He groaned. “I better go, or I’m going to walk into church with a very large erection.”
“It is large. Even larger than Magik Mike.”
He laughed. “You just made my day.”
“Good.”
I hung up feeling better.

“I’m dying,” Skylar said, dropping onto the couch next to me. She shrugged out of her coat and dropped her bag to the floor. “I have to hear about last night.”
“I promised Natalie I’d wait for her.”
“Where is she?”
“In the kitchen, helping Mom. Did you even go in and say hello yet?”
“No. Natalie!” Skylar yelled.
Sighing, I closed the magazine I’d been looking at and set it aside. “Where’s Sebastian?”
“He and Miles are helping Dad move some equipment into the barn.”
Natalie appeared in the family room doorway. “What?”
“Get in here,” Skylar said. “I want to hear about Jilly’s night, and she won’t tell me without you.”
Natalie’s face looked pained. “OK, give me one minute. I have to get the potatoes in the oven.” She darted back into the kitchen, yelling over her shoulder. “Don’t start without me!”
“So was it amazing?” Skylar raised her sculpted brows.
I sighed in response.
“I knew it!” she squealed, clapping her hands. “I swear to God, the moment I saw you two together…”
“Hey, you promised!” Natalie scurried in and sat on the floor in front of us.
“Relax, I only asked her if it was amazing and all she did was this.” Skylar imitated my lovelorn sigh, making it much more dramatic, almost tragic.
