“HowisLily?” he asked, in an attempt to change the topic so transparent he could have read the newspaper through it.
If anyone had bought a newspaper in the past ten years, anyway.
“Sleeping through the night, now! She’s ahead of schedule on that one. She gets her sleeping skills from me.”
Flynn chuckled. “Sounds right. But that’s awesome. I have to come see you guys sometime soon.”
“Well… if we’re going to this wedding anyway, come over the night before and stay in the guest room? Then you can play with her as much as you want before we leave.”
Flynn’s heart leapt at the thought. That was exactly what he needed to fortify himself before he headed off.
“So you’re definitely coming?” Flynn asked. “It’s all on me, hell, it’s already paid for, and there’ll be free food and booze, so…”
“I’m coming,” Callie said. “Of course I am. A break sounds good right about now anyway. Just… email me the details, I guess.”
“You know I love you?” Flynn said, grinning. It was such a relief to know he didn’t have to go on his own.
“I know. I love you, too,” Callie responded.
“So I’ll come over… Thursday? I have flights booked for Friday afternoon, if that’s okay.”
“Works for me,” Callie said.
“Anyone ever told you you’re incredible?” Flynn asked, relief washing over him all over again. He wasn’t going to be alone. He’d have Callie right there.
Hell, maybe this would even befun. The two of them hadn’t gotten to spend a whole lot of time together lately, and he missed her.
“All the time,” Callie said, laughing. “But I still like to hear it.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Flynn said. “Well, youareincredible, so you deserve it.”
He was just starting to think that maybe this wedding wouldn’t be a total disaster.
