“Really?”

“I think I’m ready,” he said.

I sat up. “For what?”

He swept my hair behind my other ear and then stepped back and looked at me. “You, Lou. I’m ready for you.”

I melted into my seat a little. “What. Uhhm. What do you mean?”

“I’m tired of waiting. It’s driving me nuts.”

I could feel my heart beating between my ears. I swallowed heavily and hoped he didn’t notice. “What’s driving you nuts?”

“I want to be with you,” he said. “I can’t wait any longer. I’m ready.”

Oh God.

I tried to hide my excitement, and doubted I succeeded. “I’m ready, too,” I said.

“Want to go turn the sign around?”

“Huh?”

He handed me a key ring. “Lock the front door, and turn the sign around. It’s the silver key.”

I blinked a few times. “Huh?”

“We’re officially closed,” he said.

I shot him a surprised look. “It’s ten in the morning.”

“You have something against morning sex?” he asked.
