In the morning, I woke with Luna sprawled out over the bed like a starfish. The sheet fell around our feet where she’d no doubt kicked it. She’d been up several times during the night getting water. She and Poppy had had quite a bit to drink by the time we met up with her at Jules. When we got home, we’d had drunken, sloppy, loud sex. I had every intention of encouraging her to go out with Poppy more often.

I kissed her shoulder and caressed her bare buttocks. The rough pads of my fingers against her smooth skin caused her to stir. She groaned and pressed a hand against her head. She wasn’t so young that she was impervious to the after-effects of alcohol. I found her some Advil and refreshed her water, then went downstairs to get the coffee started.

I picked up my phone to check email and news and discovered a text from Gregg asking about morning plans. I’d gone so long without using the phone much, or even having family in my address book, that I responded with a smile. Ludicrous. Luna came up behind me and pressed a kiss to my shoulder.

“What are you guys going to do today?” she asked, reading the message over my shoulder.

“I don’t know. I suppose he’ll want to go to brunch. He’s into that kind of thing. Maybe I can get him to go out surfing. He used to be good. But I’d bet he hasn’t been up on a board since high school.” I circled so my back pressed on the counter and I could pull her against me. “How are you feeling?”

“Oh, I’ll be fine. I just need some OJ.”

“I don’t have any, but I can run get some. The market should be open by now.”

“That’s okay. I have some at home, and I think I might crash. Sleep a little later and then spend the day working on a paper.”

“You know, you’re welcome to take your nap here, even work from here. I have plenty of room.” Even when I asked, I knew I sounded like a clingy lover, and maybe I was evolving into one. I didn’t like the idea of her being away from me. Even if we weren’t going to spend the day together, I’d prefer for her to be in my space.

She stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips to my chin, then patted my chest. “You need to spend time with your brother. And I’ve got work to do. But, you know, you’ve got to actually text him back. That’s how the phone works. Once you read the text, you type a response and hit send.”

I pinched her smart ass, and she grinned as she slipped on her flip-flops. I followed her outside like an obedient seal and leaned down to kiss her when she got behind the wheel.

She smiled and drove away, waving goodbye with her golden hair flying out behind her, carefree. The farther she drove away, the more she looked like any one of the teenagers who zipped by on golf carts, young, easygoing, and free.
