Aiden was still feeling a bit melancholy by the time he got back to Luke’s. He saw that Luke, Shelby and Art were sitting on the porch at the house, and Luke gave a wave. Aiden walked over. “How are you feeling?” he asked Shelby.

“Ready,” she said with a smile.

“And how are you feeling?” Aiden asked Luke.

“Ready and so not ready,” he said.

Aiden chuckled and looked at Art. “And good morning, Art. How are you feeling this morning?”

Art took a drink of his diet soda and said, “I want to get married with Netta.”

Luke instantly lost all the color in his face and groaned. Shelby, however, just ran a hand over her big belly. “I don’t think so, Art,” she said. “You shouldn’t get married now. We need your help around here—especially with the baby coming. Besides, it’s hard to be married to someone who lives in Fortuna if you don’t drive a car.”

“Oh,” he said. Then he turned to Luke. “Should I drive a car?”

“No!” Luke said harshly, clearly in a panic.

“We’ll drive you wherever you need to go, Art,” Shelby said more calmly. “Don’t worry about that.”

“Okay,” he said. “You’ll drive me to Netta’s house?”

“Of course,” she said, smiling. “I’d be happy to. In fact, I’ll call Ellen and ask if Netta can come to the Fourth of July picnic in town. Would you like that?”

He smiled. “That would be good.”

“Consider it done,” Shelby said. “It will be fun to get to know her.”

Aiden chuckled and sat down on the porch steps. “Art, why don’t you go see if the fish are biting.”

“I’m on my break,” he said. Art was very careful of rules and routine. He liked following instructions, especially Luke’s.

“It’s okay,” Luke said. “Go ahead if you feel like it.”

“I feel like it,” Art said with a smile. And he hefted himself up and lumbered off, stopping at the front of his cabin to grab his rod and reel.

When he was out of earshot, Aiden said, “Try not to worry so much, Luke. I think Art’s pretty happy to be talking to Netta again. Ellen suggested we all just keep an eye on them and see how the renewed relationship is shaping up, make sure they’re not headed for trouble or anything. But she also said there was no indication from Netta’s behavior that she had a real active libido. Maybe this is something Netta mentioned to Art—Art’s been talking to her on the phone, right?”

Luke nodded. “I have to punch in the numbers for him. They don’t seem to talk that much, but they like being on the phone.”

“Well, don’t worry. Maybe you should ask to drop in to Ellen’s support group a few times. Pick up some very important information—stuff that people just don’t know. Things I didn’t know, and I thought I was up on some of this stuff.”

“Like what?” Luke asked.

“Well—here’s something. I know I told you Netta’s on birth control as a precaution, but not because she might accidentally have sex with some boyfriend like Art.
