She chose the restaurant and was amazed when they all settled in as if last night and this morning hadn’t happened. While she was happy for the status quo, she kept waiting for a remark to spoil their lunch. By the end of the hour, with a full stomach, she finally relaxed. Thea saw hints of the relationship they used to have, the easy, carefree friendship she’d come to know and anticipate. It was the first time they’d laughed together as they had before the plane disappeared.

None of them carried their cell phones, so they were left in relative peace. There were a few glances from passersby who thought they might recognize them, but nobody approached them.

After lunch, Thea headed directly to a chain drugstore. While the men wandered the aisles, she grabbed some chips and candy. She also took one of every magazine on the stand. She blatantly avoided the tabloids. Her last choice was several boxes of condoms, all shapes and textures. She had no trouble standing on line at the checkout to pay for her purchases. In the past, she would have been embarrassed to buy condoms. However, in the past that hadn’t been a need. She’d been on the pill and still was. The condoms were what she thought she should buy in case their sexual situation changed.

It dawned on her that Dexter and Russell had been having unbridled, unprotected sex on the island. It hadn’t dawned on her to make Dexter use a condom when he came home because she was still protected from pregnancy. But she couldn’t shake the idea that they should be using them. Neither man commented on her purchases. Thea decided she’d feel better using them for a while to make sure there were no pregnancy surprises if she decided to sleep with both men.

Her last stop was at a grocery store for supplies. She’d laughed aloud as both men started piling their favorite foods in the cart. Their drive home was much more sedate than the ride into town. Thea commented that their time in town went smoother than she’d anticipated. “It almost felt natural for us to be together. Like all this time hadn’t passed and I hadn’t found out your secret.”

“You can have those days back,” Dexter said offhandedly.

“Only if I accept you and Russell together, too. If I ask you two to separate, Dex, I’ll always wonder what you two are doing together when I’m not around. Nevertheless, I feel it would be worse to live every day wondering. You surely have left me in a quandary. And I thought you being gone was tough.”

“I can settle this for you right now.” Russell drew a deep breath, as if what he was going to say would hurt him physically. “I can leave, relocate to the West Coast and start over out there. It would probably be the best solution, since I know I can’t go back to the corporate life. I’ll have to find something new to do with my time and for a living.
