My core grows hot and slippery at the memory, and I decide just to tell him.
Haddy
I miss you guys. When will you be back?
Gavin
Friday. Then we’ll be back for a while. You’ll probably be wishing we were gone again.
Haddy
I don’t think so.
Gavin
See you soon, Princess.
Gavin
Another win! I think Mav’s finally forgiven me for my post-Halloween meltdown.
Haddy
You melted down? Why?
Gray dots float,and I snuggle deeper into my blankets. The weather is getting cooler, and Thanksgiving is fast approaching.
Gavin
My head wasn’t in the game. We’d just had our night, and then when we saw you on the street, you wouldn’t look at me. I couldn’t stop thinking about it… wondering why.
Haddy
I’m sorry. I guess I was kind of freaked out.
Gavin
Don’t apologize. It was pretty earth-shaking.
Haddy
Things were definitely shaking.
My legs for starters. The memory sends heat from my chest to my stomach to my core, and I might need a visit with my battery-operated boyfriend, a.k.a., Bob tonight.
Gavin
Would you say I shook you all night long?
Haddy
Or did I shake you
Gavin
Sassy. I like it. I think we’re a good match, like puzzle pieces fitting together.
Haddy
