The day after Pennie’s birthday, Eileen got a large envelope in the mail that she’d been expecting for weeks. It was full of forms to fill out. It took her nearly all day to do it, but she completed all of it and sent it back the next day.

A week after Eileen had emailed Paul about spending Christmas Eve with them, Olivia was curled up in his arms after they made love, and she smiled up at him. Christmas was a week away.

“How would you like to have Christmas Eve dinner with my family?” she asked him in a husky voice fresh from their lovemaking. He smiled at her and kissed her tenderly on the lips. Their sex life had never been better, and they were happy with each other.

“I’d love to,” he said gently, “but I’m spending it with my children.”

“In the city? At your apartment?” She looked startled but didn’t want to invite them. She wasn’t ready for that, and neither were his kids. She was still smarting from their last encounter, and was sure they were too, since he had never suggested another one. And she hoped he wouldn’t anytime soon.

“No, in Greenwich. Eileen emailed me about it last week, with an invitation from her and the children for Christmas Eve. I figured you would be with your family, and you haven’t said anything, so I accepted.”

“Why didn’t you ask me first?” She was visibly disappointed, and worried.

“I didn’t want to be pushy about being with your family. And to be honest, I’d love to be with my kids. I was grateful to be asked.”

“Is there some deeper meaning here?” she asked, suspicious. Maybe Eileen was trying to win him back and using the nostalgia of the holiday and their children.
