“Because I’m not outgoing?” he asked, lifting one eyebrow at her.
“You are and you’re not. Daisy insists that Theo is adorably awkward, but I’ve never seen it.”
“Ahh,” he said. “Something I’ll have in common with him too?”
He wouldn’t say wealth was also something to have in common with certain people at this party. No one knew.
Though if anyone ever wanted to check, they could do a search on lotto winners over the years and they’d find his father’s name.
There’d be no reason for anyone to do that though.
“We don’t have to stay long,” she said.
“I’m just picking on you. We can go when you’re ready.”
It was six thirty now. Sage had worked today, along with him. Violet and Trace said the party started at seven, which gave everyone time to get home from work.
“I just need to get the dips that I made and crackers and veggies to go with them,” she said.
She grabbed a box and started to load everything from her fridge into it. “I’ll get this if you want to grab your bag for the night,” he said.
They were staying at his house.
“It’s packed and on my bed.”
“You know… Maybe this is moving too fast, but why don’t you leave some clothes at my house so you aren’t always packing.”
He’d already picked up all the hair stuff she used when he saw it there one day. He’d taken a picture of it on his phone and then had it there since.
She didn’t have to do anything other than bring clothes back and forth at this point.
“I could do that,” she said. “Give me a minute and I’ll go throw a pair of jeans and a shirt in there and a few changes of underclothes. I was going to put leggings on tomorrow.”
“That works,” he said gathering the box of the food. He wanted to tell her to put work clothes in there too, but that might be pushing it. And harder to do.
“I expect you to do the same here,” she said.
Which would be easier for him to do that during the week. He wore the same things pretty much daily. Jeans, a shirt with Bradford Electrical on it, and work boots. He could leave a few work shirts here. He had plenty.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll give you some tomorrow.”
“I don’t mind at all. Look at us being so grown up. Do you wish we stayed at your house more?” she yelled from her room.
He walked toward her with the box in his hand. “I don’t care that much,” he said. “I want to say whatever is easiest for you but don’t want my head beaten off either.”
“Very funny. You remembered that I said I didn’t like when a guy was like that. That gave in all the time.”
He didn’t forget too much about her. Not from twenty years ago and not since they’d been dating.
“Nope,” he said, grinning. “But the truth is, my wardrobe doesn’t change like yours.”
“Very true,” she said. “Maybe during the week, if we start staying with each other, it’s here, and then on the weekends we just switch back and forth?”
“Works for me,” he said.
Her bag was packed, she got her jacket on and they left to go to Trace’s.
“Looks like we are the first ones here,” she said. “I can help Violet set up.”
