MY PHONE WAS RINGING somewhere in my purse, and I faintly remembered Abe tossing it on the couch when he carried me inside the night before. As I threw a t-shirt over my head and jogged into the living room, I stretched my neck and I retrieved it from my bag.

“Hello,” I answered and cleared my throat.

“Did I wake you up? Oh my God. Do you have any damage out there?” Ashley sounded like she’d been up a lot longer than I had. “Half our tree fell. It almost hit our car port, but it missed. Don’t worry. Why are you still in bed? I thought you got up at like four every day.”

I carried my cell with me as I tiptoed into the kitchen to start the coffee.

“We were up late,” I said not thinking about what it implied.

“Because of the storm or...”

I laughed because she was so nosy, but I kind of enjoyed it too. “Or. And also—” I paused, unsure if I should say something and because I wasn’t sure how to say it.

Holding the phone against my ear with my shoulder, I didn’t hear Abe come up behind me. He placed a quick kiss on my neck and took over with the decanter full of water.

“Also? You can’t stop there? Also what?”

“Sorry, Abe just walked in.”

“Oh, you don’t want to talk about it around him. That’s okay. Is it girl talk? I get it.”

I chuckled again as he leaned against the counter, shirtless and squinting at me. So I mouthed, “Ashley.”

“No. No, it’s nothing like that. I just didn’t know if I should say anything or if it was just between me and him.”

He made an adorable face and pointed to his ring finger. I nodded.

Quietly, he said, “Tell whoever you want.”

I wiggled on the stool, happy and excited for whatever was to come. “Abe gave me a real engagement ring last night.”

“Are you fucking kidding me? Chris!” she shouted to her husband. “Chris, Abe gave Myra an engagement ring.” She laughed and said something that I didn’t catch. “Yeah, you two probably weren’t paying any attention to that storm. You were getting the real good D.”

My friend giggled, and so did I. I’d been around her long enough to pick up on what she was saying, and she wasn’t wrong, but I wasn’t going to say anything.

“Do you need help with that tree mess?” As I asked her, Abe pointed through the window over the sink at something in the yard. I stood on the bottom rung of the stool to see what it could be. We didn’t have any limbs down that I could find, but the creek, that was usually not much more than a trickle near the house, was roaring down by the meadow. “Oh my goodness.”

“What?”

“Our creek. It’s like a river.”

“Oh shit. The news warned there could be flash flooding.”

I’d made it a point to not watch the news since the night I watched the story on those innocent children being hurt, but maybe it was time I sucked it up and did it anyway.
