Sitting out by the pool, grilling steaks, I watch as Berk tosses a tennis ball into the yard for Tracker to fetch. The giggles from my girl and the laughter from Berk fills the night air. For the first time since I purchased this place, it feels like a home instead of a house.

The last time I was here, it felt like nothing more than walls and foundation surrounding me. A place I came to long enough to shower, work out, and close my eyes. I didn’t long for the day to end so I could come here and relax. But now, I’m dreading Monday morning because I’ll have to leave the two of them. But I know that once the work day has concluded, I’ll be rushing to get back here—to them.

I worry about Berlynn now that she’s jobless thanks to the evilness of her dad, she’ll need to find something to do to fill the empty time that was usually occupied by teaching the next hopeful Olympian gymnast.

Then a thought occurs to me, and I ask, “What are your plans for Monday, Berlynn?”

“I haven’t figured that out yet,” she remarks. “Why? Did you have something in mind?”

“While Berk is at the hospital, why don’t you come with me to the office? I have a few things I’ve been researching when it comes to… you know who.” I purposefully don’t mention their dad because it upsets Berk and with the calm he has right now, I don’t want to ruin it for him by causing him to shut down. “I could use some of your input on my thoughts and findings.”

“Okay. What time do we need to leave here? Mrs. Crockett is coming to get Berk at seven that morning, so after that, I’m all yours.” The “I’m all yours” part of her sentence has me shifting on my feet and turning back to the barbeque grill to hide my erection from her. She has no clue what those words mean to me. Most likely something completely different than they do to her—for now.

“I have to be at the office by nine so we’ll leave here around eight,” I convey.

“I’ll be ready,” she says.

Not yet, but you will be, I think to myself. Hopefully, sooner rather than later.
