“Of course, I would do it again for you.”
Maeve smiled at him.
“How is everything back home?”Maeve asked.
“It’s good.Eden is more than fine.So is Razor.He’s a little pissy at the moment.”
“Why?”
“Eden wants to set you up on a date, and he thinks we should tell her we’re together.”
“You know with work, and Eden busy with Razor, it’s the first time I’ve not spent any real time with my sister.”She shook her head.“It’s crazy.We used to spend every single day together.”
“That’s life.Do you think you’re ready to tell her?”
“Are you ready to tell Charlotte?”Maeve asked.
“I’m ready.”He was aware Nancy already knew about him and Maeve.It wasn’t like he’d purposefully kept it a secret.Far from it.
“We can always tell them when we get back,” Maeve said.
“Consider it a done deal.”
“Wait,” Maeve said.“Can we do it after the Easter Fair, just in case Charlotte’s pissed?I don’t want to have to deal with that.”
He laughed.“Charlotte would be able to handle it.”
She let out a little wince, and he laughed.
“Okay, fine, I’ll hold off telling Charlotte.How about you and I tell her together?”he asked.
“I like that idea.”
They finished their food, and he got Maeve to tell him about her last few days.It was not easy being a makeup artist.Her client was a business owner, and it would seem her board had attempted to overthrow her.They were trying to vote on her lack of ability to run her company as well as her family.Maeve came in to help fix her up and show that she could be both.
“And did it work?”
“Yes, it worked,” Maeve said.“She’s a good woman, and she would never put her employees in jeopardy.”
Their food was finished, and Doc stood, reached his hand out for Maeve, and lifted her to her feet.Once she was there, he leaned forward and was not too gentle as he lifted her up over his shoulder and stared to carry her toward the bedroom.
“Does this place have a shower?”
Maeve laughed.“You could have just asked, and I would have gladly walked to the shower.Are you trying to tell me I smell?”
“Nope, but I want you naked, and I need a shower, because I’ve been traveling most of the day.I stink.”
She laughed and wriggled in his arms.
He was not going to let her go.
Doc found the shower, and he didn’t remove their clothes as he pressed her into the corner of the shower stall.
“What are you doing?”
He turned on the shower, and Maeve let out a squeal.
“Doc, I have not removed my makeup!”She pressed a hand to her face.
