Chapter 120

• “Hey guys, anyone home?” I called out as I got in the door.
• “Shhhh!” went Mary-Beth, appearing from her room far down the hall and closing the door carefully behind her, so the catch didn’t make a noise. She had the baby monitor in her hand. “I just got her down for her nap. Kayla’s fast asleep on my bed too – she’s exhausted with all the work on the apartments we’ve been doing.”
• She swished up the hall towards me, her beautiful body swaying in another of those simple linen dresses that she looked so hot in – cerise pink this time. A huge smile broke over her face as she pulled me into a hug and held me close. We stood like that for a long moment, just holding one another, breathing each other in. Then we kissed, deep and hard, saying everything we couldn’t say in words.
