After a long but invigorating first day, I head back to my place with a spring in my step. One that my brother Jake doesn’t miss and happily brings up as soon as we are out of earshot.

“Okay, so which one of my production assistants are you shagging or planning to shag? Please tell me it’s not Callie? She’s cute but fresh out of college, and too bloody young and innocent for the likes of you, plus she’s good at her job and I’d like to keep her around.”

He’s driving us back home as our rental houses are on the same street just a couple of doors apart.

“Why do you assume I’m shagging anyone? It was a good first day and I’m excited to be back in work. Isn’t that enough of an explanation?”

He takes his eyes off the road to glance quickly in my direction, his face saying everything he’s also about to say with words.

“For anyone else, yes. For you, no. So spill it. Who do I have to keep an eye on when you fuck them and leave them wanting more? The ramifications will probably throw my whole production schedule into chaos.”

He’s only semi-joking, his tone of voice betraying his concern.

“For fuck’s sake, Jake. I can keep it in my pants. You don’t need to judge everyone on how you used to be before Emma made you an honest man.”

“This film…”

I don’t let him finish. He’s way off base with his theory. Well, he’s slightly off base at the very least.

“Is important to you. Your baby.” I stare at his profile now highlighted with the fading evening sun. “I’m a professional, Jake. I’ve managed to keep my cock in my pants for almost a year while I was with Josh and the kids, so I think I can keep the beast tamed a little while longer, don’t you?”

“Fair enough, but something has got you all giddy like a schoolgirl attending her first boy band concert.”

I laugh at that. He’s not far wrong. My nerves are jangling and tingling so hard when I think about meeting Flynn tonight that I can almost hear them buzzing across my skin.

“I’m just fired up about the film. It’s a new challenge and I’m getting to do something I love again after being Uncle Iz, bum-changer, dribble-cleaner and bedtime story reader extraordinaire for so long that I almost forget I’m a single, professional man with aspirations above what to watch on Netflix when the kids are finally asleep.”

That makes him laugh. Having a child of his own means he can fully appreciate everything I’ve just said.

“I hope Josh will be okay in Ibiza,” I wonder softly.

His laughter dies and he instantly becomes more sombre. “Yeah, me too. I think Mum said something about going out there for a few weeks, but Dad doesn’t think it’s a good idea. Part of me agrees with him because Josh needs to learn to live again for himself and his family, but the other part of me worries he’s not ready for it.
