longer. I just wanted to give you a call to see how the rest of your day went.”
“Well, thank you for keeping your word. It means a lot.”
He grinned. “You know I always do, but you have a good day tomorrow, and if I don’t see you, just know I will be thinking about you.”
“I will be thinking about you too, Randy,” she whispered. “Good night.”
“Sweet dreams.”
Randy hung up the phone and rolled onto his back. He looked up at the ceiling. Soon, he was asleep and having very sweet dreams about Kristen.

Kristen wiped her mouth and leaned back in her chair. She was stuffed and everything had been delicious. “You are a much better cook than I remember.”
Randy smiled. “Thank you. I had to learn a lot over the past few years. Wade is my toughest critic.”
She shook her head and smiled at the mention of Wade. He was an adorable kid, and she had grown fond of him. She told Randy that it would be okay for Wade to join them for dinner, but Randy had insisted his parents watch Wade. When she knocked on Randy’s door and entered his house earlier, she knew it had been a good idea for Wade not to be there. She might not be experienced, but she knew seduction when she saw it. Candles were lit all over the entire house. She had followed him through his living room and into the kitchen where the set up had been the same.
He held out her chair while she sat and poured her a glass of wine before walking over to the oven and removing two plates he had warming in the oven. Randy set one in front of her and the other across from her. Once he had taken his seat, he toasted to a great evening to come and they began to eat. They made small talk during the meal. She noticed he still had the ability to make her laugh a lot. He told her about his brother and two sisters she hadn’t seen in years. Randy was the oldest, Emily followed him, Cody followed her, and Blair was the baby of the family. From what he said, the Stroud family seemed to be doing okay.
So was she after the wonderful meal Randy fed her. He stood and began to clean up. She stood to help him, and he protested but she wanted to help. It would give her something to do with her hands. This was the first time she had seen Randy outside of his uniform since she came face-to-face with him at the day care. The man was so sexy he made her eyes hurt. There was also his air-dried hair that looked like the wind had touched it a few times today. Combined with his facial hair, he had a tousled Matthew McConaughey look, and it made it very difficult for her to keep her hands to herself. Randy rinsed the last of the dishes, and she dried it and set it in the dish rack.
He turned to face her. “Let’s go into the living room.”
She nodded, and he led the way. He turned on the television, and they both went around the living room blowing out the candles. When the last one was blown out, they met at the couch. He picked up the remote.
“Any special request?”
She shook her head and laughed when he changed the channel and a popular cartoon came on the screen. “You still have your obsession with cartoons I see.”
“Wade is starting to obsess with me. It also helps that I have him around because I can get away with blaming it on him most of the time.”
She shook her head and settled in next to him laughing at a few of the scenes. Randy put his arms around her and pulled her close.
“You seem to have a good memory,” he whispered in her ear.
“I always did when it came to you.”
She grinned and watched the screen but didn’t pay attention to what was on it. Her mind was on the man she was sitting next to. Randy had done well for himself, and she wondered if he knew. It was obvious Lila’s actions affected his self-esteem. The man next to her had lost some of the confidence he had had when they were younger. She could see the hesitance in his eyes on
