The cat meows in agreement and nuzzles against my pant leg.

I gently nudge him aside with my boot as I slip through the door into the mudroom. I make a mental note to find a way to keep the cat away from the back door before Charlie has an allergic reaction.

Once I’m inside, I strip down to my boxers and toss my clothes into the washer, so I don’t track cat hair into the apartment.

I stop short in the doorway when I see Charlie curled up on the couch, fast asleep. Her red hair spills across the cushion, her mouth slightly parted, with one hand resting protectively over her still-flat belly.

My gaze lands on the notebook on the coffee table. The open page is filled with what looks like a handwritten list. Curiosity gets the best of me, and I lean over for a closer look.

Pros & Cons of Sleeping with Heath Halstead… Again:

Pros:

He’s stupidly hot naked (especially in the shower).

Best sex I’ve ever had.

Married with benefits has a nice ring to it.

Pregnant = no rubber required.

Cons:

Pregnancy hormones make me reckless.

I could easily fall for him.

Risk of homicide is real (could end up onDateline).
