It’s quite the nocturnal life we lead, except I’m trying to lead both a normal life and night-time life. I know it’s something I’l have to find a better balance to once the babies arrive, but for now I need both the club and work, anything to keep my mind off the fact that Thomas is away.

Except my car is in the parking lot and she would have guessed I was in here. She would kick the door down. “How about some dinner?” she asks. “Did Garrett cal you?” She comes into my office and poses with her hands on her hips, stretching out her ful height—al six foot six inches of her—six ten, counting her stilettos.
