You picked me? Was I in a field of babies and you chose the one you wanted?

Something like that. We’ll pick you up at the airport on Sunday. Love you bunches!

Love you! Rikki turned to Ben. “It’s all set.”

“Wow. That was quick.”

“Are you having second thoughts?”

He put his index finger under her chin and tilted her face up for his kiss. “How could I have second thoughts? If this will make you feel better about me, then I’m all for it.”

She heard a ding, and looked down at her phone again. There was an email from Valerie with the flight information. “We fly out at four. Does that work?”

“Sure. Are they picking us up at the airport, or do we need to rent a car?”

“She said they’d pick us up. Since they’re not filming next week, it’s easy for them to get away.”

“Okay, that sounds good. I’m going to email all the mothers of the children about their parts in the pageant. We rehearse on Friday night, go to the tree lighting on Saturday, fly to Texas on Sunday, come back on Tuesday, and rehearsals start on Wednesday. We’re going to be too tired to think.”

She grinned. “Maybe that will make it easier for me not to picture you in less clothes.”

“I’d offer to send you a shirtless picture, but it would be inappropriate. My mother always claimed that men running around with no shirts on were too broke to buy them, and she told me if I ever got that broke, I needed to ask her for money.”

Rikki laughed. “She sounds like an interesting woman. I need to meet her someday.”

“Someday you will. Probably not this month, though. She’s pretty busy.”

“What does she do?”

“She’s a nurse at a hospital in Madison. She and my dad split when I was a kid, and she’s been nursing ever since.”

“Do you have a lot of brothers and sisters?”

He shook his head. “Just the one brother. He’s living in Florida now.”

“So, who spends holidays with her?”

“She goes to her mom’s. This is our first year to be apart for the holidays, but I can’t get away, and neither can she. We’ll Skype, and it’ll be fine.”

Rikki realized then that he’d be spending the holiday alone too, and she hated that for him. “Well, whatever happens, we’ll have to spend the holiday together. I’ll be part of the Culpepper craziness, but I’m sure one more wouldn’t hurt anything.”

He dropped a kiss on her nose. “I think that sounds wonderful.” He stood. “And on that note, it’s time for me to head out. It’s getting late, and I have a counseling session at eight.”

She didn’t ask when she’d see him again, but she wanted to. Why did her life seem so empty when he wasn’t there? She was getting too involved already. “Sounds good. I’ll see you at rehearsal on Friday night.”

“I’ll be by for lunch tomorrow. And maybe we can have dinner tomorrow night.”

“That sounds nice.”

“I loved your cooking by the way. Sorry I forgot to kiss your feet.
