“I’m home!” I called through the house.

“We’re in my room, Mom!” Dustin replied and I quickly made my way to join them.

“These are all great, Dustin! I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished.” Zane set the blue ribbon Dustin had won for a science fair project down and smiled at him. “I bet it was cool to make that volcano explode. You’ll have to show me sometime.”

“There are my two favorite people. How’s it going?” I leaned casually against the doorjamb.

“I was just showing—” Dustin broke off and stared between the two of us before his eyes settled back on Zane. “What do I call you?”

Zane glanced at me and I shrugged, deferring back to him. “This is between the two of you.”

“Well, I guess whatever you feel comfortable with. You can call me Zane, or Dad, if you want to.”

I knew he was trying to appear casual about it, like it didn’t matter to him, but he was holding his breath. The words mattered a lot.

Dustin considered this for a moment before turning back to me. “I was showing Dad my volcano.”

Slowly, Zane exhaled and glanced at me, a wide smile creased his mouth. “I swear that just made me feel so damn—darn good!” He shot an apologetic glance at me.

“You can swear at our house, Dad. Mom does it all the time.”

Instantly, I colored. “I wouldn’t exactly say all the time.”

“Don’t worry, Dustin.” Zane patted him on the shoulder. “I heard your mom cuss a lot last night, too.” He winked at me, and I was mortified at his blatant referral to our loud lovemaking in front of our son.

Dustin stared at me curiously and I was sure he could see the color flooding my skin. “Was Mom really mad at you?”

Zane chuckled. “Nope. In fact, I’d say she was feeling pretty damn happy.”

“What was she so happy about?”

“Well, she was happy because she and I were—”

“Okay, that’s enough chit chat,” I broke in, not even wanting to know where he’d been about to head with that. “Time to go wash your hands so we can get some lunch started.”

“Can we have Ramen noodles?” Dustin asked, his face lighting up.

“Actually, I was thinking we could do something more special, since this is the first time your dad will get to eat with us.”

“I think Ramen noodles sound delicious,” Zane said.

Raising an eyebrow, I stared at him. “You do?”

“I haven’t had it in years. I say let’s do it. I’ve been enjoying getting reacquainted with things from my past these days.”

Great. Our first meal as a family was going to be Ramen noodles. How unexciting. “Ramen it is, but I’m throwing in some grilled cheese sandwiches, too.”

“Yay!” Dustin exclaimed, his face lighting up even more. “Wait till you taste Mom’s grilled cheese sandwiches! They’re the best! She does . . . fancy stuff. What’s the word again, Mom?”

“Gourmet,” I replied supplying the word he could never remember.

“She makes gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.
