“What’s so funny?” Lucas pulled back his covers and crawled in next to her. No shower for him that night? Fine. At least she had his scent to fall asleep with. Lucas didn’t need to be body wash and aftershave 24/7. Sometimes his natural smell was as divine.

“It was my pleasure.”
“It means a lot to me. I want him to see his old man having healthy relationships.”
