Ava

“Mrs. Reed, thank you for inviting me. It’s been a while since I’ve felt well enough to socialize.”

“Oh, dear please. You’re practically family. I heard about your health scare and I’m terribly sorry. But you seem to be well on the mend. I wouldn’t know to look at you.”

If you only knew how hard it’s been. “It’s taken some time to get back to myself. But I’m on the mend. Almost completely back to myself, but I do have my days.”

“If there is absolutely anything you need, let us know. You’re like family to us. We wouldn’t want anything to happen to you.”

There is something you can assuredly help me with, but I don’t think you’d want to help me distract your son’s girlfriend, so I can strip him butt naked and lick the birthday cake off his well-defined abs leading down to his yummy happy trail. “Thanks Mrs. Reed, I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Will you excuse me, Ava?”

As soon as she walks away, I see Sage glaring at me. I don’t know what crawled up her ass and died. I haven’t said a word to her or Chris. I’m making it my mission to stay away from them. I’m on my best behavior as a guest. At least, I’m trying to be.

Smiling sweetly, I hold my glass up to her and bring it back to my lips. She narrows her eyes at me like a bull in the arena waiting to charge. All I’m waiting for is for her to stamp her massive hooves raising up the dust.

If she only knows how much I want to take her challenge. But I promised myself I wouldn’t do anything to upset her or Chris. I don’t want him to see me as the same little girl who wants to cause him nothing but trouble. I turn my back on her and move away to talk to Shawn who is heading in my direction.

“Ava, is there ever a time you don’t look drop dead gorgeous?”

“I don’t know, you tell me since you’re the one who’s looking,”

“I can say as sure as you are beautiful, not a single time.”

“There you go, that’s the way to charm a lady right out of her dress.”

“Don’t get my hopes up tonight.”

We share a laugh and he pulls me in for a big bear hug. “What have you been up to, Shawn? I haven’t seen you in months.”

“Work and other things.”

“Still loving em and leaving em, huh?”

“I’ve been spending more time working than loving them and leaving them.”

“What’s the matter, big guy, are you losing your touch with the ladies of New York? I would think they would be flocking to a seasoned detective.”

“Not losing my touch. I’m reevaluating.”

“Oh yeah? What’s brought this on?”

“All my friends are coupling up and they seem happier than they’ve ever been. So I’ve been thinking, maybe I’ll try it out. Less quantity, more quality.”

“Nothing wrong with that. To tell you the truth, I’ve been thinking along the same lines lately. Do you think we’re getting old?”

“Hell no! If anything, we’re getting better.
