Chapter Seventeen

The next day, Cam woke up face down, cheek smashed into the wood planks. His skin stuck to the floorboards as he lifted his face and left an oily circle as a sort of footprint, evidence of last night’s antics.

Two feet appeared in front of him and he groaned, looking up to find Callie standing there with a couple mugs of steaming coffee. “Here you go, sleepyhead.

Pushing himself off the floor, he slapped his hands against his pants, dusting off non-existent dirt. “Thanks,” he muttered taking the coffee.

“Wow, you are really not a morning person,” Callie said cheerfully.

“And you have either the world’s best hangover, or you weren’t nearly as drunk as I was last night.”

She smirked, lifting the mug to her lips. “I just have more experience than you do.”

He snorted. “Somehow, I doubt that. I’ve got almost ten years on you.”

“Ah, yes, but you’re out of practice…” She paused, wiggling her eyebrows. “In more ways than one.”

He walked past her to the kitchen sink and splashed some water on his face. “Don’t remind me. I just hope things haven’t changed too much in that department.” Stretching an arm overhead, he glanced at the clock. He was going to have to change the battery—it must have died last night. But wait, it wasn’t dead… there was a click from the clock as the minute hand ticked. “It’s not… it can’t be 11:30 already, is it?”

“Sure is, sleepyhead.” Callie sat at the table, reading something on her phone.

“Shit!” He dropped the coffee mug in the sink and scrambled around, grabbing his keys and wallet… dammit, where did he put his wallet? “I was supposed to pick Maddie up from school at 11:00. She has a press conference today.”

“Cam, stop. Slow down—you cannot go into the school looking like that. And—” Callie inhaled before waving her hand in front of her nose. “And smelling like that. You wreak of alcohol.”

“I can’t just leave her there to wait. I’m thirty minutes late.” Ah, there it is. The wallet was tucked under his recliner and he bent down on hands and knees to retrieve it.

“At least wash your face and arms… really quickly.” She tossed him a bar of hand soap that was in the bathroom. “I’ll get you a different shirt.”

He did as she said and just as he was running out the door, Callie followed him, locking up behind her. “You realize this is the second time in one year you’ve gotten one of your brothers drunk and made them late for something?”

“To be fair, Noah got me drunk on Father’s Day. Not the other way around.”

Glancing up and down at each of them, he shook his head. She was in a pair of his boxers, Uggs, and an oversized t-shirt with her coat thrown carelessly over top. He was in his jeans from yesterday and an undershirt. He changed into the clean one as he started up the truck. “We’re quite the sight, huh?

Maddie waited on a bench outside the school, fairly patiently for a ten-year-old.
