“Hey, love. Can we talk for a minute?” Lance inquired.
“Sure, babe. What’s up?”
“Mike just sent me another text message. Did he contact you, too?”
“Nope. What did he say this time? By the way, I’m really sorry the twins and you have to stay at this late hour in the store with my employees and me. Where are the twins anyway?”
“They’re asleep on the couch in your office, love, and before you start feeling guilty, don’t! They were really excited you got to read them bedtime stories. Anyway, Mike has a business proposition for us, but he wouldn’t tell me what it is. He wants to discuss it with both of us face-to-face. Will you be home for lunch tomorrow?”
“Absolutely, babe. Shit! I miss you so fucking much. I miss the twins, too.”
Lance pulled Adam into a tight embrace. “Don’t beat yourself up over that. I’m sorry I’ve been rather hard on you. I really miss you, too, love.”
