“Yeah,” Skye agreed. “She’s our friend.”

One of the things that endeared me to Cam was the way she treated my girls. Her communication and interactions with them seemed effortless. I could tell that she enjoyed being around them, and they enjoyed being around her, making it that much easier when she was around all the time. We wouldn’t have that weird adjustment period.

“Speaking of Cam, we are going over to her place for dinner. How does that sound?” I asked.

“Good! I like Ms. Cam’s food,” Fee said.

“Yeah and I want to tell her about the party,” Skye said.

After knocking on Cam’s door, she pulled it open and stretched with her arms in the air.

“Hey, guys!” she yawned. “I’m sorry, I fell asleep on the couch waiting for you.”

She stepped to the side and allowed us to enter. She looked refreshed in her camouflage overalls and a pink sleeveless tank top. She wore her flamingo slippers.

“You’re tired, Ms. Cam?” Skye said after hugging Cam.

“Yeah, I am,” Cam answered.

“Why are you tired, Ms. Cam?” Fee asked.

“Um…” Cam started.

“Yeah, why are you tired, Ms. Cam?” I smirked.

I knew she was tired from working a full schedule, then meeting me at the club, and ultimately staying up all night making love. She had to be exhausted. I was.

Cam squinted her eyes at me and said, “I was up late teaching an old dog new tricks.”

“Oh, you got a dog?” Fee quickly responded, looking around.

“Is that what you were doing?” I smiled.

“Yes,” Cam answered me first. Then said, “That’s an old saying that means you were teaching someone something. Not a dog, usually a person.”

“Oh,” Fee sighed.

“Ms. Cam, can we get our things?” Skye asked.

“Sure, follow me,” Cam said.

“Daddy, sit down. We will be back,” Fee said.

I sat down on Cam’s grey sofa and watched the girls follow Cam to the back of her place. I looked at the wall that I’d pressed her against last night and had to adjust myself before the girls came back. All three came back a few minutes later. Both Fee and Skye carried gift bags.

“Happy birthday, Daddy!” both girls said and gave me the gift bags they held.

“These are for me?” I asked.

“Yep, Ms. Cam took us to the store when she was taking us to school. We used the money we earned helping her with her inventory,” Skye explained.

I looked up at Cam. She smiled, then motioned her head for me to open the bags.

“Okay, which one should I open first?” I asked.

“You can open Skye’s first since she is the oldest,” Fee answered out of character.

After pulling the black and gold tissue paper from the black gift bag, I saw a handmade card with a huge red heart on the front. Underneath the heart, it read:
