“Sorry?” I say, but don’t mean it.

“Let’s go trouble.”

We walk next door, and Ty is already waiting for Cole in the driveway. Heather is in the backyard, so he walks me to the gate, kisses me and heads to Ty’s truck.

“Bye Sugar. Let me know when you’re ready and I’ll come walk you home,” he says before getting in.

I blow him a kiss and wave before turning around to go through the gate.

“Boss lady, what’s going on?” I ask as I sit down at the table with her.

“Oh no, ma’am. You tell me what’s going on first.” She responds.

“What do you mean?” I inquire.

“You have been a homebody all weekend. Why is that?” she asks.

I just smile at her. She had texted and asked if we were going to attend family dinner, to which we politely declined to stay in bed.

“We were enjoying being lazy in bed.” I tell her.

“MMmhhhmmm. I don’t need details but… tell me it was good,” she responds.

“Do you think I would stay in bed all weekend if it wasn’t?” I ask her like it’s a no brainer.

“That’s my best friend. I’m really happy for you A. You deserve all the good the world has to offer.” She says.

“Don’t make me cry. I’ve had a great weekend and we’re having girls’ night tonight.” I state.

“That we are. I invited Laine too,” she tells me.

“Awesome! She is far too funny.” I say.

We got to hang out with Laine a little bit on Friday night. She is hysterical. I’m excited about bringing her into our little group.

“We should invite her to Cole’s surprise party.” Heather suggests.

“Yes! Speaking of, we need to finalize our plans for Saturday tomorrow after the guys leave.” I tell her.

They’re heading out on the road tomorrow and won’t return until Friday. I know we both will want to spend tonight at home once they get back.

“I’ll text her now. Yes, we can do that first thing tomorrow.” Heather states as she texts Laine.

“Perfect! Ty said he would get him away from the house.” I tell her.

“He better or I’ll kick his ass,” she tells me with a scowl.

The look on her face, as serious as she wants it to be, is anything but. I bust out laughing at her.

“I’m serious!” She exclaims.

I only laugh harder at her. She joins in with me a second later and that is how the guys find us.

“Why do we always find you two laughing?” Ty asks as he comes to sit on the lounger that Heather is on.

“Your wife thinks she can pull off an intimidating face.” I say to Ty.

“She can when she wants.” Cole responds to me.
