Adrenaline

“Holy shit. Landon said that?”

Nodding my head, I said, “Yep! Addie said she was horrified, but Emmit puffed his chest out and proudly declared himself father of the year, then said Hailey was moving to an all-girl school because little boys were horny and not allowed around his daughter.”

Malcolm let out a chuckle as we started back to the house.

“Damn. Who would have thought ten years ago that my daughter and Emmit’s son would be crushing on each other?”

I stopped and looked at my handsome, clueless husband. “It’s cute now, but you better prepare yourself.”

“For what?”

Emerging from the front door, Emmerson and Landon came walking out. When Landon leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, Malcolm gasped beside me.

“For that . . . fast forward ten years.”

Malcolm stared at them as they started our way. Landon, taking the basket from Emmerson, like the perfect little gentleman he was.

Turning to face me, Malcolm looked scared to death. “What was the name of that all-girls school Emmit was talking about?”
