“I would have done it myself as soon as I was alone.”
He’s still smiling; I can feel it.
“All I do is think about it.You, the car door, your mouth… us.”
I sigh with him.
“I’d love to do it again.”
“Good to know.”
“Did you have doubts?”
“Some.Maybe…”
“It seemed pretty obvious to me.”
And if I don’t end this call right now, I’ll have to explain my very obvious overexcitement to my son.
“Tomorrow I have a meeting after training, and I’ll be late, and then there’s the pre-match rest…”
“All right.”
“I just wanted to let you know.I didn’t want you to think I didn’t want to see you.”
“Thank you.”
He sighs again.“Talk to you tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Good night, Doctor.”
“Good night.”
I end the call and set the phone on the counter.When I turn back, my son is no longer eating.He stands with his arms folded, one eyebrow raised, studying my face.
“Yeah, it’s obvious your thing is way more interesting than mine.”

Jamie
“You’re not listening to me.”
“Huh?”
“You’re distracted.”
“And you’re boring.”
Ian plants his hands on his hips and studies me.
“Is something going on in that head of yours?”
“Actually, yeah.I was trying to figure out the best way to ignore you without you noticing.”
“Not funny.”
