Avery and Carter were both preoccupied with Michael and Kimberly going at it just inside the house near the verandah. Avery at first wondered if they knew they could be seen, but from the way they touched each other, she realized they didn’t care.

“They seem pretty fond of each other,” she said.

“That’s one way to put it,” Carter said. “They act like a couple of horny teenagers all the time. I’m surprised they only have two kids.”

“Where are Daniel and Evan?”

“How do you know…” He caught himself, remembering who he was. Everyone knew everything about his family and he didn’t like it one bit. “They’re inside. Maya is giving them their dinner in the kitchen. Trust me, the night will be wild enough without them.”

Avery couldn’t turn her eyes away from Michael and Kimberly and had to admit it was affecting her. Not sexually really, but emotionally. She saw their passion for each other and it was raw and untamed. It was something she had never experienced.

“I’m sorry about that.” Carter wished Michael and Kimberly would take it upstairs. “They forget people are around.”

“I don’t mind.” She took a sip of her wine. “It’s nice to see married people express passion for each other.”

“So you would have done something like that in public if you had married Alex?” he asked.

Avery turned to him, speaking before thinking better not to play his game. “I am marrying Alex.”

Carter leaned against the back of the chair. “I don’t know. I just don’t see it happening.”

“Stop it, Carter.”

“And I’m sure if it did, you two would be nothing like Michael and Kimberly there.”

He didn’t have time to react before she dumped the rest of her wine on him, splashing his face and soaking his white linen shirt.

He sat up straight, laughing out loud. “I was just kidding, Avery.”

“So was I,” she said. “Isn’t it more fun when we both do it?”

“Fine.” He wiped himself down. “Game over. What do you want to talk about?”

Avery smiled, grateful for any little victory she got in life these days. “What about this house. Where is your room?”

“I don’t live here.”

“I know you don’t live here, but you had a room here, didn’t you?”

He looked up at the back of the massive home, pointing to the right. “I think it’s somewhere up there toward the front.”

“You don’t know where your room is? Didn’t you grow up here?”

He was thinking of changing his shirt. The night was too damp to dry it, but he didn’t want to leave her right now. “No, I didn’t as a matter of fact. I grew up in a little middle-class home in your neck of the woods.”

“Baldwin Hills?”

“I was a junior in high school when we moved into this house. I didn’t live here because I was in New York at prep school.”

“Your parents sent you all the way to the East Coast?” Avery couldn’t imagine being that young so far away from her family. “It must have been lonely.”

He shrugged. “It was fine.
