My shock at our position reflected in his eyes. We’d somehow gone from standing in the middle of my living room to me, lying on my back on the couch and him nestled up close and personal between my legs. It took far more effort than I would have expected to stop myself from pressing up into him.

We’re getting there! The water leak under the lawn is fixed. The new drywaller I hired is almost done his part. I can paint the new walls this weekend. I’ve purged most of the items in our house that are unworthy to use as staging for the house showing. It’s amazing what people will take …
