“What did you have in mind?”
“Perhaps, later, meaning in twenty minutes when the meds kick in.”
“Nope,” he retorted, pulling on a pair of underwear, and climbing into bed beside me.
“One hour?”
“Go to sleep, baby,” he said, chuckling.
“Fine.” I let out a huff. “But I’m giving you a bad Yelp review.”
He laughed, wrapping his arm around me, and kissing my neck. “I’ll take that under advisement.”
I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

Saturday, Jekyll loaded Mina into the car before helping me and we headed off to the club’s family night. I was tired and that made me a little grumpy, but I was trying my best not to let Mina pick up on my mood, mostly because she was already on high alert.
Leo had worked with Jekyll at the shop until about two, then Jekyll brought him home. Mina was aflutter with excitement that Leo was her captive audience but when he told her he wasn’t going to be living with us, her guard went up and she shut down a little.
“Why’s she acting so weird?” Leo whispered to me when Mina went to find a book.
“Trauma,” I said, simply.
“Did I do something?”
“No, bud, not at all. You just have to be patient and extra kind,” I said. “Let her process her feelings in her time.”
He shrugged and went to help Jekyll in the kitchen.
Now, we were in the car, Leo in the back with Mina, and on our way to the club.
“Jekyll said they have pinball machines,” Leo said to Mina.
“What’s pinball?”
