By the time we got home, I was ready to get my tubes tied. Double tied for good measure. My mom had horror stories about her friends’ operations not taking the first time around. At this moment in time, it wasn’t worth the risk.

Not that I likely had to worry anyway because I was pretty sure my ovaries shriveled up all on their own accord—somewhere around minute two of being in that horrible play place. At any rate, I had texted Jack an emergency 911 regarding the missing bunny and the ensuing temper tantrum from hell.

He said not to worry and that he’d meet us at his place. I didn’t have the energy to ask why we were going to meet there instead of my humble abode. All I wanted to do was be any-freaking-where other than the tunnel of horrors.

When we walked in, Ava ran straight to her dad, her tantrum upped a notch for his sake. And what do you think he had in his hand? Another fucking stuffed bunny. Just like the old fucking bunny, but cleaner. What the hell?

“Here, Daddy has a new Bunny for you.” He smiled and handed her the un-matted, non-dingy bunny. Son-of-a-bitch, he was good.

Or so I thought, until she threw it down and screamed, “That’s not Bunny.” She pushed out of his arms and dashed away to her room. The little turkey was smarter than I thought.

I chucked my purse on the couch and moseyed up to him. “Maybe I’ll go drag it behind my car for an hour, then she won’t be able to tell the difference.” He laughed, his whole body shaking. Damn, I loved it when he did that. The normally serious look he carried disappeared and his dimples showed. It made him look ten years younger and even more delicious.

“Ah ha,” he said, pulling me into his arms. “Now you’re starting to get it. We do our best. But never let them see you sweat. They are tiny insurgents in disguise. Do not negotiate with them,” he said and kissed my nose.

“She’s so cute most of the time, it’s hard not to give her the world,” I said and laid my weary head on his chest.

“I remember when you were her age and threw a fit at that indoor playground on Eighth Avenue. Carried you out of there screaming. You yelled, too.” Elaine chuckled. “Had a mind of your own even then.”

With all the commotion, I hadn’t realized she was in the kitchen. “This is really all your doing? Faulty DNA?” I said and smirked at him. He laughed again and kissed me lightly on the lips.

Right then, my phone went off. I sighed and pulled it out of my pocket. “You at your place or Jack’s?” Audrey asked, the background noise a giveaway that she was on her car’s Bluetooth.

“Jack’s.”

“Be there in two minutes,” she replied and promptly hung up. Weird.

“I guess Audrey is coming over,” I said, frowning. This was odd.

True to her word, a few minutes later she strutted into Jack’s living room, carrying an even dirtier Bunny.
