The smile faded from her face. “Please try to be positive. You’ve become a social recluse, and I’m worried about you.”
That pout…
“Fine,” I caved. “I willtryto have fun.”
She smiled and did a happy, wiggle dance. “Yay, I’m so excited.”
“Momma, what are you doing?” Theo asked as he entered the kitchen and sat an empty cup in the sink. “You look kinda silly.”
Anna grabbed his hands and started moving in circles with him. “Just preparing for tonight. Daddy and I are going dancing.”
I inwardly scoffed.
Dancing… sure. More like getting hot and sweaty—in a bad way—because there were too many people crammed in one small building, most of them drunk or halfway there, and who invaded personal space. So fun.
“Can I go?” Theo looked up at me with a hopeful expression.
Brian saved the day. “I thought we’d have a Star Wars marathon, little guy. Way more fun, don’t you think?”
Theo grinned. “Yes!”

Red-head jokes had become a thing with us ever since we’d first met. I didn’t have anything against red-heads. I just liked giving him a hard time. Brian wasn’t what I called a “true” ginger because he didn’t have pale skin and really visible freckles, but he had strawberry blond hair with a light dusting of freckles under his eyes. Ginger enough.
Anna put her hands on my chest. “So, you go home and put on a nice shirt.” She leaned in and whispered, “Or one you can easily take off. And then come pick me up.”
I rolled my eyes.
Just because we were going to a gay club didn’t mean I was going to randomly hookup with someone. I was more of a relationship guy and not fond of one night stands. However, ithadbeen a few months since I’d had sex.
Maybe I’d let loose that night like she wanted and break my rules.
What could it hurt?
