"Alright, we're clear."
"When do you see Will next?" Hannah asked me.
"Tonight." I felt my toes curl with anticipation. "We're going to dinner then checking out that dance class Chrissy signed us up for.”
"Oh, you'll love it. Mae is wonderful. She also teaches kids." Chrissy patted her belly. "I expect this little one to be tapping in her class shortly."
I rolled my eyes. "So much expectation on such a little person. You better be careful with that one, Chris."
She laughed. "Never! Only the best for my one and only."
"Never say never." Even as the words rolled off my tongue, I realised they also applied to me.
Well. Who would have thought I could find love in a cave? It would make for a hell of an anniversary story.
I grinned.

Ihovered in front of Karen's door, nervousness making me anxious.
Wallet. Car keys. Cell. Kids are at friends for the night. I brushed my teeth and put on deodorant. Dinner reservations are confirmed. Fuck. What am I missing?
My phone buzzed and I pulled it out, swiping to read the message posted in the group chat from Hayden.

Dad, I love you, but for the love of all that is holy, make sure you use a condom. No one wants a repeat of your misspent youth.
JayWood
Especially us. I mean, we definitely don't want a Hayden2.0
Dr.Dogg
You wish you could be this cool, Woody.
Ash
Can you guys cool it with the condom talk? I don't want to have to explain the birds and bees to an 8yr old.
SamthePup
What's a condom?
Ash
Oh, great. Thanks a lot, you guys.
Ryan
Dad, what I think we're all trying to say is we love you and have fun.
