“Where’s Dillon?” I asked, pulling up my own chair.
“Outside somewhere. Did you want lunch?” Macy asked. “There are some cold cuts.”
I waved my hand. “I’m fine. I’ll get something later. You have too much work, you don’t need to take care of me too.”
She leaned toward me, cutting Emily’s food into smaller pieces. “Spill. What was it like?”
I looked down at Daisy and Nicky but found them focused on each other and their sandwiches. They were playing pirate sword fight with carrot sticks.
I dropped my voice to a whisper to carry on an adult conversation. “It was wonderful. He was so… good.”
Macy grinned. “More details,” she demanded, pushing the sandwich toward her youngest child.
“Um, yeah.” I didn’t know really how much detail I could go into with the kids in the room. “He knew what he was doing. And he was very… tight and muscular?” I winced, trying to describe Mike in as few words as possible.
“Did it work? Did you get your ex out of your system?” Macy wanted to know.
I paused to consider her question. Since my conversation with Mike in the truck, I hadn’t thought about my ex all day. “Yeah,” I said in disbelief. “I think it did.”
“And are you going to see him again?”
“No, it was just a one-night stand.”
Nicky turned around to face me. “What’s a one-night stand?”
I turned to Macy in horror.
“It’s where you put your lamp,” Macy said without missing a beat.
Nicky seemed satisfied with that answer and went back to not eating his carrots.
“Are you sure?” my cousin asked me when the danger had passed.
“About what?”
“About not wanting to see Mike again,” she said, offering Emily another bite. “He was cute and funny and apparently good in the sack.”
“What’s the sack?” Daisy chirped.
“It’s where you keep potatoes,” I said.
Macy smiled. “You’re catching on.”
“They’re going to have a really weird vocabulary if you’re not careful,” I whispered.
Macy stuck to her guns. “So, why not see Mike again?”
I shook my head. “I’m not interested in dating, and I didn’t get the idea he was either. It was just a fun night for both of us.”
“Okay,” she sighed, clearly not okay with it.
“Can I have a one-night stand near my bed?” Daisy asked.
Macy and I looked at each other and erupted into laughter. Just at that moment, Dillon walked in the door. He was carrying a stick that had been partially sanded into a cane. He looked at me and then at Macy.
“What’s so funny?” he asked.
“It was something Daisy said,” Macy explained.
