“No, you won’t. You’ll review the list of names I made and choose the three you prefer.”
“I reviewed the list. It was boring.”
“Boring?” She raises her eyebrows. “Callista is boring?”
“Yep.”
“Leaf is boring?”
I feign gagging. “Not boring but the poor kid would be bullied.”
She throws her arms in the air. “Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?”
I grin. “What happens if I say yes? Are you going to chase me with a broom again?”
“Maybe I should use a knife this time.”
“Bloodthirsty. I love it.”
She rolls her eyes. “You’re crazy. And you’re driving me crazy.”
“It wasn’t a very long drive.”
“Enough with this.” She motions to the hallway. “I want you to clean out your office. I need to get the baby’s room ready. It should be done already.”
“Why already? You’re not due for another two months.”
“I don’t want to be moving furniture when I’m as big as a house.”
I growl. “As if I’d let you move furniture.”
“Great. You’re here now and can help.”
When she smiles, I realize I’ve been had. What she doesn’t realize is there’s a great big surprise for her behind the door.
“How about I clean out my office tomorrow while you’re working? You don’t need to help.”
She crosses her arms over her chest. “Really? You’re going to clean it out tomorrow? How many times have you told me you’d clean out your office already?”
I scratch my chin and pretend to think about it. “Once?”
“Try thirteen million.”
“Pixie girl, I love you to death.” Her eyes go soft and I pause to appreciate the moment. “But we both know I’m the mathematical genius in the family.”
“Someone thinks awful highly of himself.”
“When the algorithm fits.” I shrug.
“I hate algorithms,” she mutters.
“Don’t be a math hater.”
“Easy for you to say. The Facebook algorithm didn’t decide the only thing you want to read about on your feed is pregnancies.”
“I don’t understand the problem.”
“You wouldn’t. Mr. Checked Every Book About Pregnancy Out from the library and asked the librarian if she could order more.”
