After dropping Amee off—and with no reason to go back to bed—I downed a shake and went out to the garage in my sweats. With the clean mat on the cold concrete floor, I dropped to the ground and began my push-ups.

Despite the urge, round two had never happened. Amee’s blissful slumber had stopped me from waking her. I wished I’d slept half as much as she had. In fact, my body and mind had been at war the entire night. What the hell did she mean, Jenssen needs a prenup? That little country girl was nice. ‘Nice has nothing to do with it.’ Her words rang in my ears.

True, I wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, so maybe she saw something that I’d missed. But what really ate at me was her dismissiveness about their relationship. Amee had barely said two words to that girl. Was she that much of a cynic?

I finished my reps and added a hundred more. I needed to put all that shit out of my mind and focus on my test the next night. The routine calmed me and two hours later, I went back in the kitchen to find Teddy drinking his coffee, faded bathrobe open and brown socks on his feet.

“Busy night in here.” He hacked a few times and took a sip.

“You need anything from the store? Other than new underwear?” Focusing on the sink, and what I hoped wasn’t flesh from his inner thigh, I filled my water bottle.

“Nah. Gave my list to Kimberly yesterday. Think she got it covered.” Another cough followed, and he pounded at his chest with his fist.

“How many cigars did you smoke with your buddies last week?”

He shrugged, and I left him to his tobacco consequences.

Later that night, when I’d escaped the artificial fruit haze of Jemina’s with a better understanding of accounting than I’d ever had, I stared at my phone. A simple text from Amee said ‘thank you’, with a yellow round head sending a kiss and a missed call an hour after. I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat and drove home.
