The rest of the morning goes amazing, with eggs and waffles being delivered to the door with a healthy portion of bacon, of course. We sip coffee before switching to the mimosas I had them bring up, and then it’s time to get dressed and go get Henry.

I’m excited to see him again, but coming up with a reason for my appearance takes us a minute.

“I’ll just say that I picked you up. Wanted to give Henry the good news with an in-person surprise.”

Reed smiles like it’s no big deal.

“Okay.” My smile is less confident, and I really do wonder how much longer we can keep this up.

However, I don’t want it to stop any time soon, and right now, I’m just happy with where we’re at.

We drive over, and when Reed rings the doorbell, Henry rushes to the door, surprise painted on his young face.

“You’re on time! No work today?” And then Henry’s eyes land on me. “Mae! You’re back!”

He tears out through the doorway and launches himself into our arms, doing his best to hug us both simultaneously. It’s enough to make my heart swell and it warms me from the inside out.

A woman comes out after him, and I have to assume it’s Heather.

“Why, hello there. You must be Mae.” She looks to Reed. “And that must mean she accepted your apology.”

I smile, offering my hand for a shake, which Heather accepts. “Hi, nice to meet you. I am, in fact, Mae, and I did accept his apology. There was sufficient groveling.”

“Oh, I would have paid to see that. Well, nice to meet you, too. I’m Heather.”

We step back from the shake cordially, and I look between Reed and her. “So, Heather is Henry’s aunt. Your sister, or…”

Heather seems to freeze, her eyes going to Reed, who quickly swallows and then puts on a smile.

“No.” He shakes his head. “Henry’s mom’s.”

“Oh!” My eyebrows shoot to my hairline, and I feel my cheeks go pink. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

“You’re fine, Mae. We should all be comfortable talking about my sister.”

She glares ever so slightly at Reed, and I have a feeling she’s been another person in his life to challenge him. I like that.

“Thank you, Heather, for watching Henry. You’re always there when I need you, and I don’t tell you enough how much I appreciate that.”

Heather and I stand there in shock for a moment, but then Henry is over having to stand around and quickly snaps us all out of it with an adorable sigh.

“Can we go now?”

Reed looks over, squeezing the boy in a quick hug. “Of course, bud. What would you like to do? We have the whole day.”

“Really!?” Henry bounces up and down with glee. “Can we go to the movies? I want to see that new one with the kid spies.”

Reed glances at me before nodding. “Sure. Did you want Mae to come, too?”

“Um, duh.”

We all laugh, and then Reed, Henry, and I pack ourselves into the car. We stop off at my place to grab a change of clothes and head off to the nearest theater.
