“Did you bring a change of clothes with you?”

“Sure did.”

Riley kissed me again, and then I nodded toward her duplex.

“I really like your place,” I told her. “Mine could use your decorative touch.”

“I’d be happy to do that, but your house is rustic. Are you sure you won’t mind a little girly flair in it?”

“Not yours. Oh, here, I need to give you these.” I reached into my shorts pocket for the keys to the new door locks and gave them to Riley. She handed one back to me.

“I want you to keep that,” she said, her eyes serious.

“I appreciate it.”

“I feel better knowing you have it.”

“So do I. Let me give you the code to the keypads on my front and back doors.”

“Really?”

“Of course.

“Okay.” Riley opened up the notes app on her cellphone. “Ready.”

“It’s 430826.”

She looked up at me. “Our birthdates?”

“Yes.”

“How long has that been the code?”

“Since the day I bought the keypads six months ago. I installed them on the day I took ownership of my house and property.”

“HOW ARE THOSE fried pickles?” I asked Riley.

“Delish. How’s that disgusting fried gator tail?”

“It’s good. Would you like a bite?”

“Yuk, no, I don’t want a bite!”

“Oh, come on. Just one little nibble.”

“Rhys, no, I’m not doing it.”

“It tastes like chicken. Promise.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard that before, but I can’t get past the thought of what I’d be eating.”

“One bite, and you can wash it down with a sip of your peach mambo.”
