“He wants me to come to Chicago for Labor Day and meet my baby brother.”
“And how do you feel about that?” I ask.
“I told him that as long as there are no fireworks or Boy Scouts events that weekend, I’ll consider it.”
Graham laughs.
Caleb cuts his eyes to him.
“So, are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend now?” he asks.
Graham looks at me and smiles. Then, he clasps my hand, interlocking our fingers. “We are.”
“Good. I like you, and if you two end up married, Tucker and I will be cousins, which would be super cool.”
I cough.
“No one is talking marriage,” I assure him.
“Bummer.” He heads for his room.
“I guess that means we have his blessing,” I say.
“Whew. He had me sweating there for a minute,” Graham states.
“Me too,” I agree.
Caleb’s door clicks shut, and Graham grins at me.
“Where were we?” he asks.
“We were about to clean the kitchen,” I tease.
He rests his forehead against mine.
“I’ll need a cold shower first,” he mumbles, and I burst into laughter.
I wrap my arm around his neck.
“Looks like you don’t have to envy the trees any longer,” he whispers against my lips.
“Nope. I’m ready to let go and let the new in.”
“We’re going to be a great adventure,” he promises, and then he kisses me, and then we get to cleaning the kitchen.
