Only three more items to go. Ella was making up for having been awake most of the previous night by sleeping much of the evening, which made the shopping much easier.Man, he couldn’t believe it, but he was having fun. Sure, he was still exhausted, getting really hungry, had spent a boatload of money even with all the items from Nikki’s sister, and despite all that, he’d had more fun since Nikki came home than he’d had in months.He liked her. Liked that she hadn’t freaked out last night when he’d accidentally caught her in her bra. Liked that she’d texted him to check on them during the day. Liked that she’d acted like a momma bear as she ejected Sherri from his home. Liked that she wasn’t fussy, and looked beautiful after taking barely fifteen minutes to wash her hair and go. Really liked that she’d taken the time to check him out on the bed.Strange, but he realized her help with Ella was just a bonus. Wonder what she’d say if he actually asked her out for a date?
