CHAPTER 16

“How have I not killed you yet?” Elodie asked through her laughter.

“Because I’m awesome,” Madison replied.

“Six hours in a car, another two hours over dinner, and no booze. How have I even survived?” Elodie laughed louder.

“It’s probably a good thing the arrows are at the office and not at your place,” Madison said. Then, she yawned. “But, I am tired, and I’m sure you are, too. I should be going to bed.”

“You have an early practice tomorrow,” Elodie said.

“So do you,” Madison replied, standing from the kitchen table. “Thank you for cooking.”

“Thank your mom for giving me the recipe for your favorite meal.”

“You did her proud,” Madison said, mock-saluting her.

“Hey, Maddie?”

“You called me Maddie,” Madison said, pointing at her.

“I did.” Elodie laughed. “I had fun today. I had fun the whole weekend. Thank you.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“You shared your family with me.”

“They’re not that great.” Madison shrugged at her.

“They are if you’ve never had that.”

Madison dropped her smile and sat back down at the table.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“Some other time, okay?” Elodie replied. “And I’m not brushing you off, I promise. It has been a long day. You’re tired, and I’m tired. We can pick this up later.”

“Okay. If you sure…” Madison stood up again. “Need help with the dishes?”

“No, I’ll do them tomorrow. I’m going to climb into a hot bath, relax, and get some sleep.”

“That sounds nice. Maybe I’ll do the same.”

Elodie pictured Madison in the bathtub. But not just in any bathtub; she pictured Madison in the same bathtub. She was behind her, wrapping her arms around Madison’s waist, pulling her back against her own front, and reveling in the feel of Madison’s hot, wet skin against her own.

“Right,” she said, not knowing why. “I asked Nancy to move all of my appointments this week. I might have a few things come up, but we have a tournament to get ready for, so I want to make sure you’re ready.”

“Okay.” Madison nodded.

“Tomorrow, meet me in the backyard at seven.”

“Seven?”

“Yeah, it’s been a long day, remember? You can sleep in.”

“You’re so kind,” Madison teased. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Goodnight, Madison.”

Madison walked toward her, leaned down, and kissed her on the cheek the same way Elodie had done to her the night before.

“Night, El.”
