Page 60 of Born To Be My Baby

She laughed and kissed his lips. Glancing down at his crotch, she said, "You better put that thing away for now." She pressed her hand against it and squeezed slightly.

"It's not going away like that, Baby."

She giggled and stepped out of the bedroom. He'd need a minute to himself.

Mina waited for her in the living room. "You two are in your fifties. You act like you're in your twenties."

"Jealous?"

"No."

She hugged her daughter close. "We both love you very much. But we love each other, too."

Mina sighed. "I know."

"What's going on today?"

"The network is still threatening to sue. I think they're waiting to see if this podcast is popular. They said you haven't fulfilled your contract with them."

"Okay. Tough shit."

"Right. That's what I said, too. Also, look at this."

Mina turned her phone around to see that the video they'd uploaded now had more than three million views.

Gloria shrugged. "I don't know if I should be happy about that or not. It's mostly nosy people who want to see the pain we've gone through. It's sick, really."

Mina shrugged. "It's actually good. There's a lot of sympathy for us. A few jack holes too, but mostly people decrying the press, getting too nosy, and causing so much trouble. Princess Diana and all that."

Sean entered the living room and Gloria glanced briefly at his crotch, then into his eyes. She smiled, and he grinned.

"You two are weird." Mina huffed and moved toward the door. "We have to get to the studio."

Sean nodded and held his hand out to her. She placed her hand in his and they walked to the car side by side.

The drive to the Barn was happy. They chatted about the podcast. Mina mostly directed at how she wanted things to go. Gloria and Sean listened as she happily chatted away. She was in her element.

Once at the Barn and seated in the studio, Mina sat on a stool across from them so she was out of camera range, but she could direct them.

Mina nodded to Boon. "Count us down, Boon."

"Four. Three. Two. One." Boon pointed to her, and she started.

"Good morning. Welcome to Chart Toppers in Music with Violet Slyk and Sammy Fender."

Sean nodded. "Hello. This is fun."

Gloria laughed. "So today, we're going to finally get to the interview that started all of this strange twist of events a month ago. If you remember from the reports, or if you haven't read the reports, Sammy was in Crystal Cove for his class reunion. That's the class of 1989, if you're wondering."

Sean nodded. "I didn't make it except to the beach for a quick concert with Chris Stapleton. Which was a highlight of my life. We'll play that for you in its entirety after the podcast."

"We will for certain. It's a great concert. So, let's get to the interview, shall we?"

"I'm ready."

"Okay. Do you have any children?"

"I have one amazing, beautiful, smart, daughter."
