“And an elephant ear. I need an elephant ear too, or no deal,” I tease.
“You drive a hard bargain, Butterfly, but I think I can swing an elephant ear for the lady too.” His hands run up my legs and rest on the outsides of my thighs. My skin tingles where his thumb draws little circles on my bare skin.
I’m about to accept his offer, when something else jumps to mind. “What about Max?”
“It’s his weekend with his mom. I have him most weekends, except for the last weekend of the month. We flip our schedule for that week.”
“So, it’ll just be the two of us?”
“Well, yeah, and about four thousand other Rockland Falls residents,” he quips with a chuckle.
“Yeah, and them too.” I reply, realizing I’m actually a little disappointed his son won’t be joining us. “I just meant if it means you had to find a sitter for Max, he can just go with us. I wouldn’t mind.”
The breathtaking smile he gives me causes little butterflies to take flight in my stomach. “I love you want to include him. If it were my weekend, we would definitely be taking him with us. He loves the festival. I’m actually a little sad he won’t be with us.”
“Maybe next year,” I say without giving it a thought. Then, I realize what I said and hope he doesn’t take it as an insinuation we’ll still be hanging out this time next year.
The timer on the oven sounds, alerting us that our dinner is ready. “Come on,” he says, helping me down from the counter. “Let’s eat.”
