Page 82 of Harper's Holiday Romance
Julia
I refuse to be as much of a workaholic.
Me
If you were my wife, there’d be a four holiday a year
clause. No work after 6 pm. And phones off on
weekends.
Julia
You’ve clearly never been married to a doctor.
Me
Not yet.*wink face emoji*
Julia
Ha-ha
Would you all like to joinus for a dinner tonight?
Me
The answer is a resounding yes.
Billie and Sarah love your parents.
Julia
Mom and Dad said they enjoyed talking to them by
the pool yesterday.
Me
Apparently, Billie tried her best to convince them we
were on a day trip and not, y’know...
Julia
Having sex on every surface of my hotel room?
Me
Yes, that. *monkey face emoji*
Dinner with her parents would be fine. There was no need for me to freak out. I’d spoken to them several times, but that was before I developed feelings for their daughter. I needed a rundown of the etiquette from Julia before we attended.
“How’s your Julia?” Billie asked.
“She’s not my Julia, but she did ask if you guys want to go to dinner tonight as a farewell meal for her parents.”
“I’d like that.” Billie smiled.
