“Bye-bye! Bye-bye!”
In response, George trotted over and began licking Henry’s hand. Henry let out a big laugh, reaching over and stroking the llama’s fur.
“Looks like these two don’t want to part,” Aubrey said as she came over to me.
“Maybe we ought to set up a sleepover?” Adam said with a grin.
“Why not?” she asked. “Your place is sure big enough for a llama to run around in.” As Henry said his goodbyes to George, Aubrey turned to us, putting her hands on her hips and giving us a once-over, as if sizing us up. “Henry mentioned he lived with his uncles.”
“Yes, that’s right. The four of us, Henry, and his twin sister,” I replied. “One big, happy family.”
“Sounds like it.” She nodded toward the house. “Here at the humble Downing Farm, it’s just me and my friend Aggie.”
“You do all the work here yourself?” I asked. “Just the two of you?”
She offered a challenging grin. “What, you don’t think two women can handle it?”
“It’s not that at all. I’m actually impressed, more than anything.”
Henry let out a laugh, still having fun with George.
“Alright, bud!” I called out. “Time to get moving; you’ve been enough of a handful for Miss Aubrey here for one day.”
Adam stepped over to Henry, lifting him off the fence.
“Aw!” Henry said. “I want to play with George! And his friend Larry!”
“How about this,” Aubrey began. “If you want, you can come back and visit. Maybe when the weather’s a little nicer. That is, if it’s OK with your uncles.”
Adam lifted Henry higher, putting the boy on his shoulders. Henry replied with an excited giggle.
“Don’t see anything wrong with that,” I said.
“OK, great. We can work out the details later. Anyway, can I send you boys off with some food? Aggie and I kind of went a little overboard and we have more than enough to spare.”
“Famous last words,” Adam said. “All four of us are huge eaters. Trust me—even just the two of us would be able to eat you out of house and home.”
“He’s right. Once we get going, we don’t stop until the pantry’s bare. Even Henry’s been known to put it all away.”
“Can we eat?” Henry asked, placing his hands on his belly as Adam held him by the ankles on his shoulders.
“Sure can,” I said. With that, I pulled off my glove and stepped over to Aubrey, offering my hand. “Pleasure to meet you, Aubrey. And thanks again for handling our boy.”
She smiled, taking my hand. “It was a pleasure. Come back any time.”
“I’d shake,” Adam said, “but, uh, I’ve got my hands full.” Instead, he bowed a bit forward, Henry laughing.
“You boys have a good Thanksgiving, alright?” She glanced one more time at all of us before tipping her hat and turning back toward the house.
I watched her as she left, her ass swaying from side to side in a way that begged my eyes to stay locked on it.
She was going to be trouble.

Adam
“Something catch your eye, bro?” I asked the question with a grin, knowing the answer.
