As quietly as I can I back out of his room and return to the kitchen where he’s working on dinner. He grips my hips and lifts me up to rest on the counter while he finishes preparations. With a dish towel tossed over his shoulder he bends down and pulls the chicken from the oven, resting it on top of the stove.

“We need to let it cool for a few minutes. Glass of wine?” The corner of his mouth kicks up slightly and I’m reminded of what brought me here in the first place. Not only is he thoughtful but he’s handsome and adorable all at once. I could use the entire bottle of wine, considering his wife is watching this whole date unfold. It’s terribly awkward and he doesn’t even seem to notice.

“Colby?” he asks, snapping me out of my thought process.

“Do you have beer?”

Now he flashes a full-blown smile. “Of course.”

He reaches into the fridge, pulls out a bottle of beer and unscrews the top using the lower part of his shirt, and then passes it to me.

I take an extra-long swig and look at him. Physical perfection.

“Want to help me set the table?” he asks.

I nod so he helps me down and we set the table. Afterward he turns on music to play softly in the background. We fill up our plates and take them to our seats. The food is amazing and the tender way he’s watching me melts my heart. Maybe he’s just never touched anything around here because he doesn’t know what to do with it all. Maybe there’s an explanation for this museum of Carol. I’d love to hear why there is a nursery ready and waiting down the hall.

“So, how long until you travel for the monster truck gig?” he asks, breaking my train of thought.

“We start back up in a little less than a month.”

“Are you excited? Is it something you still enjoy?”

“Who wouldn’t? Driving a big ole truck over cars and racing around a dirt track? Then having tons of kids run up to get your autograph? Their little eyes light up and their excitement is catchy. It makes me feel good. I like being a positive role model for them.”

“I can’t wait to go and watch. I’ve never been to one before. I’ve seen clips on the internet and television, but I’ve never been to a live show. When I was looking you up online I found dozens of fan pages dedicated to the sport and several just for you. It was kind of weird to think there are a bunch of kids, and probably grown men too, out there with your picture hanging in their bedroom.”

“It did take a little bit of time to get used to, but I don’t let it go to my head. I just enjoy it for what it is. Fun. Although the season can be hectic and tiring, it’s still a good time.”

We finish dinner with small talk and a few laughs and he refuses to let me clean up.
