INTERESTING START

“Are you sure you want to do this today?” Kelly asked him forty minutes later. “You seem quiet. I’ll understand if it’s not the right time.”

“Ty is okay now. It’s fine. I’ll be honest and say I was close to canceling it though.”

She wouldn’t be hurt over this. She wasn’t as nervous as she was meeting Owen, but still didn’t want to push this either.

“Can I ask why? Is it you that isn’t ready or Ty?”

“We are both ready,” he said. “Don’t doubt that. Ty seemed off and I didn’t want him to be in a mood to start.”

“Did he have a bad night with Electra?”

“I might as well tell you what happened. It’s not horrible other than it’s frustrating to me. Ty spent the night with Electra’s parents. I didn’t know that and she is supposed to tell me those things.”

Kelly listened to him explain the events of the morning, from getting Electra out of bed hungover to Ty returning late and then saying he had more fun with Michael’s parents.

She was positive there was more being left out of the story with his time at Electra’s alone, but she trusted Michael. Shewasn’t so sure she trusted Electra though. Especially since Michael’s ex referred to her and Michael’s relationship as fucking.

“Sounds like an interesting start to the day,” she said.

“That’s a good word for it,” he said. “But Ty was in a better frame by the time I dropped him off. He went to my parents excited to meet you. Though you’re ranked up there with my mother’s homemade burgers at the moment too.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment and be happy with the information,” she said.

“We can go over now if you want,” he said.

“I’m ready if you are. And if you get in front of your parents’ house and want to change your mind, I won’t be offended either.”

“I’m not going to unless you want me to.”

“I’m good,” she said. “Just want to make sure we are all on the same playing field,” she said.

“My goals in life,” he said. “To be on the same playing field as my son.”

She laughed. “Glad you are at least seeing the humor in this. I know it’s the first you are introducing Ty to someone. It’s the first I’ve been introduced to someone’s child, so there you go too.”

She grabbed her bag that had her clothes in it from staying the night.

“My parents are going to love you,” he said.

“They should,” she said, laughing and bumping her shoulder into his. “Sounds like I’m a step up from your last girlfriend.”

“Not funny.”

“It was a little,” she said. “Admit it.”

“Just a little,” he said.

“Do you think it’s bribery that I’m bringing a book to Ty?”

“No,” he said. “Ty loves books and loves to be read to. He’s learning words too. I appreciate the time you took to find the right book.”

She’d shopped around to find one that helped kids learn to read on their own. Like a big picture book with the words under it and letters and numbers.

“It was fun,” she said. “I won’t admit the rabbit hole I could have gone down of so many things.”

Toys and clothes.
