The chime of her cell phone woke Laina just before seven on Monday morning. She smiled when she saw it was Logan.

Logan: How did you sleep? Without me there, probably not very well.

Laina: If I recall correctly, the sleep I got next to you was VERY minimal. Last night=dreamless.

Logan: Can you blame me? Hey, I didn’t get a chance to tell you last night. I’m getting together with Viv and Sienna tonight for some baby talk. If all goes well, we’ll meet with doc Wed or Thurs. (Can’t do Friday. I’ve got a hot date.)

Laina: Really? That was fast. How are you feeling about it? The meeting. Not the hot date.

Logan: Great, actually. At peace. Feels right. V&S will be such great moms.

Laina: You’re incredible. I’ll txt later. I’m late to meet the girls for breakfast. I’m sure they’ll be plying me for info.

Logan: That’s ok. I’m off to my yoga class anyway. Not.

Laina: Go easy on those hamstrings.

Laina replayed their evening again on her drive over to meet the girls for breakfast at Element 47 inside of the Little Nell. Over the past year, the four friends had tried to get together anytime India and Violet were in town, and since they were headed back to Tennessee in the morning, Willow had arranged for the group to share one last meal before they had to say goodbye.

Laina was the last to arrive, rushing to her seat after breathlessly leaning down to kiss each of her friends on the cheek.

“Sorry I’m late. You will almost never hear this from me, but I actually overslept. I think this crazy weekend got the best of me.” As she put her napkin on her lap and accepted the coffee the waitress offered, she missed the look exchanged among her friends.

Willow had already heard the same excuse earlier that morning. “Hmm, that’s the same thing Logan said. I guess he had a late night too, which was his reason for being tardy for fishing this morning with Wyatt and Rex. Weird, because my brother is never late.” Willow sipped her coffee, watching Laina’s face closely for any kind of reaction.

Laina thought they’d at least give her a moment to get her wits about her, but not these ladies. Willow had just dropped the velvet ax on her. She decided she wasn’t going to make this too easy for them.

“Huh, must be something in the air.” She studied the menu, even though she knew it by heart and would likely choose the buffet anyway. “India, Violet, I’ll bet you’re ready to get home. I heard Susan and Finn left yesterday for Tennessee? Were they traumatized after having to take care of all of the kids while we were camping?”

India laughed. “Well, they did say something about scheduling yet another vacation soon—just the two of them. I think we’ll probably leave them alone for a while. The kids can be overwhelming when they’re all together.”

Violet wasn’t going to let Laina off the hook. “So, back to the reason you’re so tired.
