*What time are you arriving to your new house?

Me

Around 6:30

Reed

What time does Parker go to bed?

Me

7:30

He takes long naps

My office in the bookstore was set up as the perfect napping place for him, so that was good. I felt bad that he didn’t get to sleep in his room in the middle of the day, but he didn’t seem to mind.

Reed

I’ll take care of dinner

Is it okay if I interact with him while we eat or do you want me to keep my distance?

I stared down at the phone.

I’d already offered to let him take mornings, so… that wasn’t super different.

It felt different, though.

Nights with Parker were usually mine. I was possessive of that time with him.

But things were changing. I was just going to have to deal with it.

Me

That’s fine

He’s grumpy at night a lot of the time though. If you’ll take it personally, you should just stay in your room or something.

Reed

I can handle it

Bet he’s cute when he’s grumpy too

Me

Always

Reed

See you in a bit. I got everything moved in and let your landlord know. He’s not charging you a final month’s rent

Me

You charmed the pants off him, didn’t you?
