“There he is!” Aunt Lulu declared loudly as we stepped into the drawing room.

I turned to see what celebrity had walked up behind me, but the hallway was empty. I watched in horror as the gathering migrated toward Christopher and me, murmuring things like “It’s about time” or “Now the party can start.” How many predinner drinks had we missed out on, and since when did I warrant the rock-star treatment?

Then I recalled the stunning man standing beside me in a navy suit and crisp white shirt. I snorted internally. Remembered? Yeah, right. As if I could forget a single thing we’d shared or said since arriving at my parents’ house. We’d crashed hard after our shared orgasm and slept well into the cocktail hour before I woke in a panic, which meant I hadn’t processed the things we’d said or done in our rush to get cleaned up and walk to the main house. This fanfare wasn’t for me; it was for my date. Unlike the attention Thad had garnered from my folks, I enjoyed watching my mom and sister fuss over Christopher until they both tried to hook their arms through his and lead him away. He’d left his sling at the pool house and assured me he was fine without it for a few hours, but he probably hadn’t counted on Mom or Jorja latching onto his bad arm.

“Not so fast, you hussies,” I called out. “I’ll make the introductions.” I looked over at my dad, who looked sun-kissed and very happy. He’d worn his favorite Hugo Boss suit, and like Christopher, he’d skipped the tie and wore his dress shirt open at the throat. He’d styled his light brown hair in the same quiff he’d always worn. Jorja and I used to tease him mercilessly about it until the style came back into fashion and we were forced to eat crow. Dad had texted a photo of himself next to a headshot of Eugene Levy taken during the height of Schitt’s Creek fame. The caption read: Who Wore it Better? My sister had pleaded the fifth, but I reluctantly admitted that my old man rocked the look best. Dad’s gaze met mine, and his eyes twinkled with humor. He seemed charmed by Mom and Jorja’s antics.

“You better watch your wife,” I warned him. “She’s out of control.”

Dad’s smile turned wry, and he shook his head. He reached for my mom and pulled her into his arms. “I’m not worried about some young guy stealing my woman from under me.”

Before I could point out Christopher wasn’t the one who needed watching, Mom giggled and carded her fingers through the gray hair at Dad’s temples. She pressed her lips to his for a quick kiss. And just like that, I suspected the rest of the room faded into oblivion for them. I’d shared a similar moment with Christopher a few times and recalled what an exhilarating and dizzying experience it was. My temperature soared as I remembered Christopher’s face as he’d found release with me in the pool house.
