He didn’t say anything, so I slowly closed the door.
Wait a second.
Of course, he wouldn’t say anything. I was losing my ever-loving mind.
Skye bounded toward me with a glint in her eyes. “Who was there?”
“Ummm. Nobody, really.”
“Well, somebody knocked.”
I nodded. “Yeah, but thesomebodythat’s there couldn’t have knocked.”
She scrunched her nose. “Huh?”
“The only person out there was Frank.”
“Frank?” She shook her head, not remembering the winking pooch.
“The bulldog,” I responded, waving my hands around.
She chuckled. “Sorry. You saidperson,and the bulldog didn’t exactly come to mind.”
“I said person?”
Skye nodded.
“Well, all I know is that Frank is outside the door.”
“That’s odd.”
“After the evening so far, it might be the most normal thing yet.”
She chuckled. “True, but I ordered some onion rings, cheese curds, two cheeseburgers, two side salads, and cheesecake. So all will be right with the world soon.”
I grinned at my friend and nodded. “At least I know I’ll never go hungry with you as my companion.”
She stretched toward the ceiling and yawned. “I actually thought it might be a delivery from the pharmacy. You’re sure you didn’t see anything out there?”
“Nope. Just Frank.” I shrugged.
“I ordered a pregnancy test.”
“I thought Nova said it would be too early.”
She shrugged. “I just thought I’d give it a try. I came out positive early the last time.”
I chuckled lovingly. “Is that a thing?”
“In my world.”
“Well, good. Then, I hope the sticks get here soon, and you can get to peeing.”
She slid onto her bed and kicked her feet in front of her. “Did you open that envelope from that guy you used to know?”
“Keegan? Oh, yeah. I totally forgot.” I laughed and shook my head.
“Maeve, what am I going to do with you? What if he’s trying to invite you out for drinks tonight?”
