Chapter 10

Luke

It’s been two weeks since Amanda left Sitka in a rush to get to her friends, and not a day has passed since then that I haven’t thought about her, wondered about her friends’ baby, and missed her bright, sexy, playful presence in my life.

That’s right.

I miss her.

I miss my no-strings-attached fling...because I’m an idiot.

It probably doesn’t help that the house is so danged quiet. My kids are away until the end of June, visiting their mother’s parents in San Francisco. I mean, I’m happy for them to have time with their grandparents, but at least when they were here, I was distracted by their needs and questions—I didn’t have as much free time to miss Amanda. Now? All I have is work, weekly dinners with Bonnie, and running through a long list of house repairs in the evenings and on weekends. Lots and lots of time to one, think about how much fun I had with Amanda, and two, feel lonely without her.

It’s Saturday afternoon, and I’m replacing two rotted-out boards on the front porch when my sister stops by with the twins, pushing them in the carriage as they take an afternoon nap.

“How’s the bachelor life?” she asks me.

I give her an annoyed look, and she sighs, pulling two cold beers out of the undercarriage of the stroller and offering me one. We sit on the porch steps as I uncap the bottles with my keychain.

“Cheers,” she says.

“Sure. Cheers.”

We each take a long sip, then sit quietly side by side, soaking up the sun and staring out at my front lawn, which was freshly cut this morning.

“You know, a lot of women responded to that ad,” says my sister, cutting to the chase. “Not just Amanda. Maybe it’s time to get back out there, huh?”

“Back...out there?”

She shrugs, then reaches back into the undercarriage and pulls out a stack of paper, settling the pages on the planking between us. “Here are all the responses. I printed them out.”

I glance at the small-looking stroller. “What’re you going to pull out of there next? Mary Poppins’ hat stand?”

She grins. “Gilly’s favorite movie.”

I take another swig of beer. “I don’t...”

“You don’t what?”

I really don’t want to date anyone else. I want to keep dating Amanda. That’s what I want to say—that I never had that kind of chemistry with anyone. Not anyone in my whole life, my wife included. I stay up at night remembering her body and wake up about to orgasm because I’ve been dreaming of my cock balls deep in her tight, hot pussy. I think about her holding Meghan on her lap and singing camp songs. I think about her making chocolate pudding in bare feet and showing up at the last-day-of-school concert wearing a sundress and holding bright-blue cotton candy. I go over and over her list of everything she wants in the ideal mate, and deep inside of me, I know—I fucking know—I could be good for her.

My sister nudges my knee. “What?”

“I miss Amanda.”

“You don’t say!” She nods.
