I let out a surprised but utterly delighted laugh.
“The things that boy will do to get an exclusive.” She drops the towel in the basket near her.
“Like what?”
“Like trying to convince me that Lou is planning on turning it into agotchastory.” She waves her hands dramatically.
“He’s not.” I defend him without even thinking about it.
“I know.” She smiles. “I told Otto there’s plenty of other politicians around he can write about.”
I can’t help my grin. “Lou will be happy to hear that.”
“He’s a good one.” She says in a hushed tone, squeezing my arm.
Once the Senator heads back out, saying she’s“Going back into the lion’s den.”,I wash my hands and refresh my lip gloss. The smile I can’t seem to shake stays glued on until I’m stopped by a familiar voice and a touch on my shoulder outside of the bathroom.
“Louisa.” I turn to see his predatory smile, all of his teeth showing

“Take it my little brother is around here somewhere then.” He looks around for effect.
“That he is.” I nod.
“So tell me.” He sips his drink. “I’ve been curious, how did it go when Lou brought you home to meet the parents?”
“Excuse me?”
“How did you find them?” He asks. “Wonderful, caring people, no doubt?”
“I haven’t met them,” I say.
“Ah, I see.” His smile widens again. “Pity.”
“Bye, Otto.”
I turn away from him and walk straight back to Lou, who must see the expression on my face as he puts his water down on the bar and meets me a few feet away from the group.
“You okay?” He rubs my arms.
“Otto.” I roll my eyes.
Lou pulls me closer to him protectively — it’s adorable — before he straightens, clearly looking around to see where Otto is. “You wanna go?” He asks.
“No, I’m fine.” I pull at his collar to look back down at me. “Let’s have fun.”
“We can go.” He says.
I shake my head and pull him further down to plant my lips on his. “That’s not fun.”
He grins, kisses me again, and then pulls me with him to the bar where I can only assume the fun lives.

TUMBLE OUT OF BED, AND STUMBLE TO THE KITCHEN, POUR MYSELF A CUP OF SILVER LININGS
Lou stayed over last night,gave me three more mind-altering orgasms, including one this morning, watched me get ready, helped me pack, and now is leaning against his car at the airport drop-off with my bags next to him.
