Today I got home, kicked off my shoes, dropped my purse by the door, my nametag (still says BABY) on the table in the center of the foyer and walked straight through the house, out the back patio doors, across the back lawn on the lovely new flagstone path and climbed straight into the hot tub. The pool is empty now (sadly) but the hot tub will stay since we can cover it and empty and fill it with ease. Caleb laughed, as he was the one who followed me out, watching as I climbed in dress and all.
I sat there refusing to speak, as I reached that point in my week where I feel too beaten down by life to respond without committing murder and I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.
That bad?
No, just tired. Where's Loch?
Helping August, I think.
With?
A wifi issue, I believe, unless that was a ruse.
I go to get out of the tub, suddenly panicked and Caleb shakes his head. I sent Ben with him. Everything's fine.
Okay. I settle back warily. I'm still leery of Lochlan going off on August if he even breathes the wrong way. Not that he will, but that he might.
Besides, he knows you're going to be busy. I don't think he'll make any extra work.
Busy with what?
You're going to have to help Andrew pick out his dress.
I don't know why it was funny but it was and I laughed and then I let my head go below the surface in defeat of the day and Caleb got scared and pulled me right out of the hot tub by one arm.
The bad arm.
The sound I make. Holy. It scares even me.
