First kiss from Mike. Lori wasn’t sure which exhausted her the most. Maybe it was the combination of the two that made her want to go to sleep that night when Tyler went to bed at eight.If it wasn’t for Mikayla having one of her bouncy, awake periods, she might have put on her pajamas right away and gone to bed like Tyler. However, somebody had to be the grown-up and stay up and do a few things during the evening, so Lori elected herself.She didn’t feel much like the person in charge tonight. Surely the person in charge wouldn’t have agreed to be kissed like that today. Nor should a responsible woman with two children depending on her for everything enjoy such things so much. Or be unable to get them out of her head. Why did that one kiss insist on replaying itself over and over until Lori could see and feel Mike’s embrace without closing her eyes or pausing in folding the basket of laundry in front of her.It wasn’t fair. Surely she should be able to enjoy one harmless kiss and then be able to forget it.
