Have you ever hosted a birthday party for a classful of manic 11-year-old boys? I’m amazed I had the energy to make any words today. But I have some. On the bright side, that means that we’re all done with birthday related stuff for a while. There might be more writing time again. At least until we go on vacation to visit family in about a week. Time will be lost to travel, but I’ll still be working in the evenings after the kids are in bed. But things will definitely be a bit wonky for a while.

Today’s words: 918

“Alright, I’m sorry. It was out of line. Apparently I’m seeing something that isn’t there.” So much for asking forgiveness being easier than asking permission.

“Apparently you are. You think you can just make a move when it suits you? What, figuring your sexy eyes and hard body are going to make me melt into your arms?”

I really shouldn’t grin. “So you think my eyes are sexy.”

There’s a moment of pause while she looks at me in disbelief. Then she growls. A real growl, deep in her throat.
