Angel put her cell phone back into her pocket, relieved that Ethan was going to be okay. She blew out a breath of relief and then went back to work on the accounting books and invoices she’d been working on. When her work day ended, she drove to the grocery to pick up the fixings for homemade chicken and vegetable soup, a crusty French bread, and some sugar free frozen pops for Ethan. She went home and took a bath while she waited for the soup to cook. Afterwards, she changed into a comfortable sun dress and then headed next door to check on her two favorite men.

Harrison opened the door, appearing harried and tired. He kissed her and squeezed her behind as she entered the house.

“How’s Ethan?”

“Back to his normal self. I think the nap rejuvenated him. He woke up and he’s been running up and down the house like he’s on a warpath. But right now he’s watching television.”

Angel stepped around toys as she carried the food to the kitchen. She put the tureen of soup and the bread on the counter and then put the pops into the freezer to harden for Ethan to eat later should the fever return. “Don’t relax too soon. His fever might return tonight.”

“That’s what the doctor told me. How do you know so much about kids?”

“I’ve been around enough. Children are susceptible to ear infections, rashes, and colds.” The volume on the television increased. “What is he watching?”

“SpongeBob,” Harrison answered.

“Oh,” Angel said. “No wonder he’s ignoring you.”

“It should be going off shortly and then he’ll want to be bothered with me again. Wait until he finds out you’re here. I think he’s in love with you.”

“He’s not a bad catch,” Angel said as Harrison backed her into a counter.

He lowered his head and kissed her. “Should I be jealous?”

“No,” she answered. “Well, not until he reaches puberty.”

Harrison chuckled. “That’s not funny.”

“Hi Angel,” Ethan said from the kitchen door.

Harrison moved away from her. Ethan had on a pair of camouflage shorts and a dark green short-sleeved t-shirt just like the outfit Harrison wore.

“Hello, PFC Calloway. Are you having a nice play day with Daddy?”

Harrison blushed innocently. “I saw the outfit in a store and I couldn’t resist.”

“Are you guys ready to eat?”

“Eat,” Ethan repeated as he walked over to Harrison.

Harrison lifted him and put him into the high chair.

“I need two big bowls for our soup and a smaller one for Ethan,” Angel told Harrison. She knew his kitchen almost as well as she knew her own, and she also knew that Harrison liked to feel helpful.

Harrison got the bowls out of the cabinet, rinsed and dried them, and handed them to her.

Angel ladled the soup into the bowls while Harrison put the bread into the toaster and began searching for things to set the table. Ethan watched them.

“Are you trying to learn how to set a table or are you trying to figure out ways to use this to your advantage?” Angel asked the child.
