True, but a guy can dream.

Maddy

He can. A girl can too.

Me

You dream about me, Wildcat? Because I sure dream about you.

Maddy

No but seriously, do you have to work at the swoon, or does it come naturally?

Me

With you, Maddy. Only with you.

*fans self*

Did your kids have a good night?

Me

Ethan was thrilled to tell me he ended up with seventy-four Reese’s Cups. It’s his favorite candy, so he counts how many he gets every year and tries to beat his record.

Maddy

And did he?

Me

By 17.

Maddy

That’s boss behavior.

Me

I knew you would like that. You take candy very seriously.

Maddy

As everyone should. I’m sitting in bed right now eating the M&M’s I bought for trick-or-treaters.

Me

Did you even get any trick-or-treaters? We were at your parents’ house until pretty late.

Maddy

I’m never home in time for trick-or-treaters because of Halloween dinner, but I buycandy anyway.
