The next morning, Jane starts work at 9am but I’m not on the roster until lunchtime. She grumbles when I wake her up because my girl loves her sleep but she drags her cute little butt into the shower while I go into the kitchen to make her breakfast.

I’m waiting for the coffee to brew and drumming my fingers on the countertop when Danny walks in. I can tell straight away that he’s annoyed with me. “Did you tell her yet?” he jerks his head towards the bathroom where we can still hear the shower running.

“Not yet.”

“Huh,” he grunts.

“Why is it such a big deal to you?”

Danny shoves my shoulder, “that girl is falling for you and you’re not giving her all the facts.”

He’s still in a grump when Jane joins us in the kitchen. “Mm,” she wraps her hands around the coffee mug, “I could definitely get used to this.” She loves her coffee but she doesn’t drink it at home because her brother prefers herbal tea.

“I’m going back to bed,” Danny grunts.

“Did I do something to annoy him?” Jane asks. She looks really concerned. “I just really like coffee. I wasn’t planning on moving in or anything.”

I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss the top of her head, “Nah, just ignore him.” I gesture towards the window, it’s still drizzling a little outside. “I think he’s allergic to rain or something. It always puts him in a bad mood.”

“He’d hate Manchester then,” Jane laughs, “this would be classed as a summer’s day back home.”

In a lot of ways she’s so American that I forget sometimes that she was actually born in England.

“Do you miss it?” I ask as we head downstairs to the parking lot.

“Manchester?” she asks, taking another sip from her travel mug. “Yeah, I think wherever I go, I’ll always miss it because it’s my blood, you know? I’m sure you felt like that about Oahu when you were in L.A.” She looks down at the worker bee tattooed on her foot. “Most Americans when they go to England, they go to London and maybe Oxford and they say they’ve “done England” but Manchester’s such an amazing city. It’s got all this amazing history and culture. It’s been attacked twice in modern times and each time they’ve rebuilt and become stronger. I’d love to take you there one day.” Her eyes shine so brightly when she talks about her hometown that it’s hard not to share her abundant enthusiasm.

“I’d like that,” I smile as I start the engine.

“Plus you would freak the heck out of my Granny Jean.”

“Why?” I pretend to be insulted, “has she got something against gorgeous Hawaiian hunks?”

“Ha,” Jane giggles, “I think she’d give me a high five for bagging such a hottie – my aunt Sinead definitely would, it’s actually the tattoos she’d have a problem with. She could barely handle it when my dad got his second one. I can’t even imagine what she’d say if she saw the two of us together.
