Celeste flops downonto the bed and groans. “I could just take a nap.”

Elizabeth laughs. “I’m the super pregnant one. Don’t even joke about napping unless you’re prepared to do it.”

Celeste rolls over. “I’ve just been working a lot.”

I sit on the edge of the bed. “We can nap if you want.”

Elizabeth laughs again. “A weekend away with my sisters, and we just nap the whole time?”

I lean back on the bed next to Celeste. “I won’t tell anyone.”

Elizabeth stretches her back and rolls her neck. “No I want to do some things. It’s my last weekend I can do anything before this little one arrives. I want to make some memories.”

Celeste sits up. “Ok. What are we doing first?”

Elizabeth checks her phone and then says, “Massages at the spa. A little shopping. Dinner.”

I laugh. “We’re really going wild.”

“Well, I’m going to bed at like 8:30 these days, so this is wild for me.”

When we sit down for dinner, Elizabeth leans her arms on the table and says, “Well, I’m exhausted.”

“You really hung in there. I’m impressed,” I say.

She takes a big drink of her water and then leans back in her chair.

“Are you nervous?” Celeste asks.

“How could I not be?” Elizabeth answers.

I squeeze her arm. “You’re going to be an amazing mom.”

Celeste nods.

“Thanks.” Elizabeth checks her phone and starts laughing.

“What?” Celeste says.

“The guys.” Elizabeth holds up her phone so we can see a picture.

Celeste bursts out laughing, and I start to chuckle. They are piled on a couch – squishing Keene at the bottom.

“Oh, they are still little boys at heart, aren’t they?” Elizabeth laughs as she sets down her phone.

“Did they get kicked out the stables again?” Celeste asks.

Elizabeth picks up her menu and answers without looking up. “No, James said they were very well behaved this time. No racing whatsoever.”

“Well, that’s something,” Celeste says from behind her menu.

Elizabeth sets down her menu and starts to laugh.

“What?”

“Oh, I guess that activist has Will all wrapped up in knots.”

“The NokNok one?” Celeste asks.
