phone for the twentieth time. Sydney hadn’t called. She put it back in her purse when she caught Seth looking at her.
    “I’m glad you liked your golf clubs,” she said.
    “I can’t wait to show my dad and J.J. when we go to Arizona.”
    Morgan laughed. “You’re talking about your monogrammed bag, aren’t you?”
    “Yep. I’m a Sr. now.”
    Morgan couldn’t resist pulling out her phone again. “Sydney hasn’t called.”
    “Which means everything is OK.” Seth took it away from her and slid it into his shirt pocket.
    “Since you got to use a get out of anniversary jail free card with the SUV, I get to use one. But you have to tell me the truth.”
    Seth smiled. “OK.”
    “Do you want to go to the Tomcats?” Morgan searched his eyes.
    “Morgan,” he sighed.
    “Don’t ‘Morgan’ me. Answer the question. Honestly. It’s important.”
    Time stood still for Morgan as she waited.
    “Yes. I would consider it,” Seth said.
    “Was that so hard?”
    Seth stared down at the table. “The simplest things are often the most difficult.”
    “Not today. It’s our anniversary.” Morgan leaned over and kissed his cheek.
    He took out his wallet to pay the bill. “So what do you want to do now?”
    Morgan shrugged. “Want to go the movies and make out?”
    “Yes,” Seth fired off.
    “What do you want to see?”
    Seth grabbed her hand and headed for the door. “I don’t care. I have no intention of watching the movie.”

    Seth and Morgan returned home from their date to find Sydney reading a book to Jake in the library.
    “He was such a good boy. No fussing.” She smiled fondly down at him.
    “That’s because he loves his grandma,” Seth said as he picked up Jake.
    Morgan shot Seth a dirty look. Luckily she was standing behind her stepmother. Sydney, on the other hand, beamed and practically floated out of the door.
    Seth glanced at Morgan once Sydney had left, and she shook her head.
    “I don’t want to talk it about.”
    Before he could say a word, Morgan was off putting away their golf clubs. When she came into the baby’s room, he suggested she take a relaxing shower and he’d put Jake to bed.
    An hour passed. He knew Morgan liked to take her time in the bathroom, but it had been a while since he’d kicked her out of the nursery. Confident that Jake was sleeping soundly this time around after a few false starts, Seth adjusted the volume on the baby monitor and went in search of his wife.
    He made his way through the steam-filled bathroom and reached the stall door. He opened it and found Morgan leaning against the wall.
    “Baby, are you OK?” Seth decreased the water pressure.
    “I’m just tired. All the activity of the day is finally catching up with me.” She tried to give him a smile.
    “Let’s get you out of there.” Seth reached for her.
    “No, I need to shave my legs. They feel prickly,” she mumbled.
    “No, they don’t.”
    Morgan rolled her eyes. “You’re sweet but a bad liar.”
    Seth held up his hands. “Honest.”
    “Just give me a minute. Or ten. I’ll shave my legs then I promise I’ll get out.” She closed her eyes again.
     
     
     
    The hot water felt good against Morgan’s skin. A sleepy feeling had come over her when she’d first stepped into the shower. Now moving wasn’t an option. It felt so good to stand there, letting the steam cleanse away the exhaustion that had crept up on her. The opening of the shower door again brought her back to reality. She opened her eyes to see Seth standing there in all his delicious nakedness.
    “What are you doing?” she asked.
    He was holding a can of shaving cream and one of his razors in his hands. Seth got down on his knees, the water cascading down and plastering his short hair to his head. Those sexy green eyes of his peeked up at her through wet lashes. Morgan’s eyes widened as his huge hand engulfed her ankle, not sure what he was doing or if she’d be able to participate. He placed
