Meeting At Midnight (2004)
“I ought to stretch out in the big, comfortable bed I’d been missing and save my energy for more important things. But I couldn’t settle.
The shower in the bathroom off my bedroom was running. Seely was in it.
I paused by the bed and scowled at the door to the bathroom. I was as nervous as a new English recruit watching the French form up outside a tiny village in Belgium known as Waterloo.
I grimaced. Make that as nervous as a bridegroom.
I’d always thought that when a woman moved her clothes i...nto my closet, she’d be my wife. This living-together business was new territory for me. It didn’t help that it was taking place under the amused, worried or just plain nosy eyes of my brothers and sister. Jaws had dropped when I’d announced the room changes over spareribs and coleslaw. By the time we got to the apple pie I’d almost lost my appetite.
Why did they all have to act so amazed? It’s not as if anyone could have mistaken me for a virgin. I’d dated. I’d had affairs, too, some of them lasting awhile.MoreLess
