Sabre and Luke drove to Einstein Bagels the next morning for a quick bite before they started working in the house. When they returned, Luke found a quiet corner, carried over a couple of sturdy boxes, one to sit on and one for his computer, and started to work. Sabre continued to put things away, sneaking a peek every once in a while at Luke, and thinking how good it felt to just have him in her home. Luke hadn’t mentioned anything about the conversation they had last night, or rather the conversation she had about him moving in. Did he not remember, or had he thought better of it? Should she ask again?

By the time they drove to Bob’s for the barbecue, Sabre was convinced Luke either wasn’t going to say anything or just didn’t remember. It was starting to drive her crazy. Should she bring it up again?

Corey ran up to Sabre when they walked into the backyard. He gave her a big hug. “Hi, Auntie Sabre.”

“Hi, sweetheart.” She tousled his hair. “How’s the sax playing coming along?”

“Good, and I’m playing soccer, and I made a goal yesterday.”

“Whoa! Good for you. I want to come to one of your games.”

“Snap.” Corey spotted another guest and ran off to greet him. Sabre watched Corey and thought how different his life was from the Kemp children. He ran and played with an innocent freedom they never had.

Luke walked over to the ice chest for some drinks. Sabre spotted JP leaning against the magnolia tree. He smiled when she walked up. “I wanted to thank you again for letting us use your truck yesterday. We managed to get everything in one load.”

“Anytime… I mean… I hope you don’t have to move anytime soon, but…”

“I know what you meant. I appreciate it. So, are you all set for your trip tomorrow?”

“Yeah.”

Bob walked up and interrupted. “JP, can you give me a hand? I need to move the grill onto the new deck.”

“Sure.”

Sabre started to walk away, but stopped and turned back around. “By the way, Bob, your deck is gorgeous.” She thought she saw JP quickly turn his eyes away from her butt. When she caught his eye, his face turned red. She smiled to herself and walked off.

The barbecue was a big success. Bob’s spicy sausages were a hit. Sabre drank about four bottles of ice water. Luke put away just as many bottles of Goose Island Oatmeal Stout. Bob’s wife, Marilee, had made a huge pasta salad that had all but disappeared. Sabre and Luke mixed some with the other guests, but mostly they stayed close to each other, watching and laughing at Bob’s antics all afternoon.

They stopped at Luke’s on the way home so he could finish packing for his trip. His bag was ready except for a few toiletries. He packed those up, and put the suitcases in the car to take to Sabre’s so they could leave from her house in the morning.
