Cole: Get some sleep beautiful

Adriana: Night Co

Cole: Night darlin’

What is this man doing to me?I fall asleep with a smile on my face and I wake up that way, too.

I get out of bed and head down to the kitchen, where Heather is already making coffee.

“You are an angel with devil horns.”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me. Angel with devil horns. Heavenly for my coffee and a evil for taking and sending Cole that picture last night.”

Heather sets her coffee down and full on belly laughs, bending herself onto the counter. She looks up at me and has tears in her eyes.

“It’s not funny!”

“I’m sorry. It kind of is. But I’ll stop for now. We will pick this up later when Dani is here.”

“Jeez.” I say as I scrub my hand down my face.

“Let’s get ready for this meeting. I’m so happy it’s via zoom.” I say to change the subject.

“Me too. Only have to put a nice top on and be comfy on the bottom half.”

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Adriana

Just as Heather and I finish our meeting with the venue, my phone rings. I see it’s Dani and answer.

“Where you at chicka?” I ask Dani

“On your street. Where should I park?”

“You can park in the driveway. There is a free space in front of one of the garage doors. I’ll come out.”

“Sounds good.”

“Heather, I’m heading outside to meet Dani.”

“Okay! I’m going to go change my top and come right back down.”

I head out the back door and over to the driveway. I see Dani’s car pulling up a moment later. I wait for her to put her car in park and run over to her as she’s getting out.

“I’ve missed you!” I say as I hug her.

“Awww, bestie, I missed you too.” she says as she returns the hug.

“Grab your bag so we can head inside and you can officially meet Heather.”

Dani closes her driver's side door and opens the back to grab her bag. Once she’s all set, we head back into the house.

As soon as we get into the kitchen, Heather is walking back in too.

“Hi Dani! I’m so happy you’re here.” She says as she comes to hug Dani.
