Sloane helped sleepy-eyed Paige into her clothes, with Boo looking on with less patience. He knew the drill. Once her daughter was up and dressed, he’d get a walk before breakfast. “Did you have a good sleep, Mama?” Paige asked, mimicking her mother’s first words of the day.

“Thank you, baby, I did.” As the little girl wrestled with the pair of socks she handed her, Sloane smoothed the bedclothes, finding Baby Sally under a pillow and pulling her out to save her from a day of smothering beneath down feathers.

With her small team finally ready, she took Paige by the hand and headed downstairs. “Shh,” she told her daughter, finger to her lips. “Eli is still sleeping.”

Eli had been sleeping when she’d decided to leave his bed an hour before dawn too. Despite the monitor on the table near her pillow, she’d wanted to wait out her daughter’s awakening in her own room. The man had roused as she stirred, and at her quick explanation he’d merely leaned up to kiss her cheek.

An affectionate gesture, she’d thought. Warm. Almost like something a father might bestow on a mother when it was her turn to get up with the crying infant.

A ridiculous notion, she decided now, scowling. It made zero sense to think of him in those terms, not when their string-less night was over.

But it was no time for frowns either, she admonished herself, ushering Paige into the kitchen so she could down a half-cup of coffee before their walk. Last night had been everything he’d promised. A way to blow off steam. An opportunity to explore mutual pleasure. Fun.

Without any expectations of it happening again with Eli or with anyone else, for that matter, she was going to hold the memory close. Maybe even savor it a little. More than a little.

“Let’s go,” she said to Boo, clicking the spring hook on the leash. He ran over, a huge grin on his face. Happy with the prospect of Now.

An example for her. She latched him up and he pranced to the front door, Paige trailing. The little physical twinges Sloane felt between her thighs only served to remind her that she’d had a great time in bed with the man—and that she didn’t have to spend every hour of her life considering consequences and forecasting the future in order to pre-plan for all eventualities.

Last night, she’d lived in the moment.

Today she was going to do the same.

The spring morning tasted fresh on her tongue and already the sun warmed the air and sparkled on the dew dotting the tree leaves and long grasses along the side of the road. Per Boo’s choice, they turned away from both Eli’s house and her own, and she let him dictate the speed and rate of stopping and going.

Which meant they ambled along and often took breaks so he could sniff and water telephone poles and sprouting dandelions. Neighboring houses were few and set back from the road and though it was Friday, apparently no one was in a hurry to get to work.
