I could barely get out an initial greeting before she apologized profusely for messing up my special night.

Like I told you when you walked in, it was fine. Plans were altered slightly, but all’s well that ends well.” And it had certainly ended well. Several times over. Thank God the guest room that housed Sophie was far enough away to blanket the ear-piercing screams I’m sure I let out that evening. I’d already scarred the baby earlier that day, God forbid her being awakened by my cries of passion that Ellis tried in vain to swallow.
