into the room.  “She just got out of the shower, but she says she can be ready in 15 minutes.  That seems awful quick to me, but she says she thinks she can be ready then.”
    Heath stepped outside a minute, opening his cell phone. 
    Heather asked Phil, “We're going out tonight, too, aren't we, since I just got home?”
    “ We'll go out, just as soon as we discuss proper manners, and how you treated your brother and our house guest tonight.”
    “ Oh, Phil, no.  I didn't mean to be that late, really.  I just should have been watching the time better.”
    “ Maybe if you sit on the wooden chairs at the restaurant down the street on a sore bottom it will remind you to watch the time better the next time.”
    “ But Phil, the restaurant down the street has the hardest wooden chairs I've ever seen.  They don't even have cushions or anything!”
    “ Which is exactly why I think eating dinner there after you've had a good spanking just might help you watch the time better in the future.”
    Heather started to object further, when Heath came back in.  “You're in luck, Sis.  They can save our table for us.”
    “Oh, good.  Did you hear that, Phil?  No problem.”
    “ Just because it's not a problem for Heath doesn't mean it's not a problem for you, my dear.”
    “ Oh, Phil, come on.”  Seeing the smirk on Heath's face, she turned to him.  “And how is that funny?”
    Chuckling, Heath admitted, “I was actually smiling because it's Phil's concern now.  Not my problem.”
    Heather was glaring at both men, when Sara came into the room.  “What's wrong, Heather?”
    Heather quickly assured her, “Oh, nothing.  These men are just being men, and ganging up on me.”
    Heath crossed the room to greet his date.  “You look lovely, Sara.”  As he admired the blush appearing on her face, he added, “If you're ready we'll get going.  I think these two have plans for tonight, too.”
    Sara noticed the grin on Phil's face, the smirk on Heath's, and the glare Heather was giving her brother.  She wondered what was going on, but decided she'd wait and ask Heather the next time she saw her.
    “Okay,” Sara agreed.  “I'm ready, but first I want to thank you, Phil, and Heather, for all the help and kindness you've given me.  I appreciate it more than I can say.”
    They both smiled, and Phil said, “No problem at all, Sara.  You're welcome back here anytime.  I mean that, so remember that if you don't feel comfortable alone in your motel, okay?”
    Smiling, she assured him, “Thank you, Phil, and I'll remember it.”
    “ You two have a good evening,” Heath said as he led Sara out the door.  He noticed the glare Heather was giving him, and he smiled.

Chapter 3
    Phil noticed his wife glaring at her brother as he left, and had to smile.  He tried to look serious and stern as he said, “Okay, honey, let's go set your bottom on fire so we can go eat.  I'm hungry.”
    “What?”
    She then saw the smile in his eyes as he said, “Come here, sweetheart.”  She readily allowed him to pull her into his arms for a hug.  She knew he was serious about giving her a spanking, and she could actually understand why in this case.  She reluctantly admitted to herself that getting Sara back late was rude to her and to Heath.  But a part of her needed to feel her husband's arms around her, needed to feel his love for her, before she could accept the spanking.
    Phil knew she needed to be reminded of his love before a spanking, and readily held the love of his life in his arms securely.  After several moments he leaned down to press a soft kiss against her lips.  “I love you, honey.  What were you doing that kept you from keeping an eye on the clock?”
    Heather looked down as she said, “Phil, I'm really sorry.”
    “I believe you, Heather, but it's Heath and Sara you should be apologizing to.  They're the ones whose plans you interrupted.”  He tilted her chin up so he could look into her eyes as he
