Oh, boy. I hope so. Not that I can imagine the CEO himself taking time off work so we can get busy while Trinity is at school. Then there’s the new addition, who I don’t mind playing with. I’ve always loved dogs.

Me

How is Daisy this morning?

Gabe

I’m trying to seduce you via text and you want to know how my new puppy is?

I laugh out loud.

Me

Just seeing if she was settling in

Gabe

If you must know, she had an accident… or five. But Trin is in love with her, so that’s what matters

Me

They’re so cute together

Gabe

My daughter gets away with blue murder all because she’s cute. I’m dreading the teenage years

Me

You’ll be fine, you’re a fantastic father

A few moments go by. The bubbles appear, then they disappear, then they start again.

Gabe

Do you want kids someday?

My heart races in my chest when I imagine being pregnant with his baby. Where in the hell did that come from?

Me

Someday, yes. I’ve always wanted a family

Gabe

I would’ve loved more kids. I always thought I’d have a big family, like my mom and dad

Me

It’s never too late. You’re not that old

I laugh as I type it.

Gabe

Are you suggesting I’m almost over the hill?

Me
