I roll my eyes. “Well, maybe you shouldn’t have grabbed my ass with your floured hands while I was cooking the pancakes,” I say, walking away with a dramatic sway of my hips, our empty plates in my hands.
“What can I say? You do have a really nice butt. Couldn’t help myself…” He squeezes it playfully before darting towards the kitchen, stopping in front of the sink. “I’ll do the dishes.”
“You sure?” I ask.
“Yeah. You look distracted, go take care of whatever has put that frownon your face.”
Easy to say…
I nod and go to my office, but not before I give him a quick kiss. I take the list out of my drawer and stare at it. Not a really long list, but an important one nonetheless.
A list I’m not sure I would have had the time to finish if the doctors actually accepted my request… Or maybe I still would have… With a clear deadline in my head, it would have been easier to take care of everything in time.
I don’t want that deadline anymore. I need more time. With Prue, to see her finally happy. To grow older, and build a family like the one Tham has. With Ikram, sowecould do the same. With Nate, so I can make up for lost time. With Evie, so she can finally teach me how to cook while we gossip like two schoolgirls. With Nuri, so I can see her kids grow, even if I met them only a couple of time before.
Time.
