“How long ago was that and why am I just finding out she texted you?”
“It was only a few hours ago and I was napping. I haven’t even answered her yet.”
“Tell her you just got to Paris and you’re going to take care of it today.”
“Well, here’s the thing. She wants me to propose…in public.”
“You’re killing me.”
“Sorry, I gotta go, the girls just got back.”
“Wait, I need to know, what’s the deal with her and the red stilettos.”
“Red stilettos? No idea.”
“Think harder, it’s obvious you said something to her about them.”
“Let me think.”
I stood from my desk to walk around and stretch out my legs. The pounding in my head was threatening to explode. No I tossed my cell onto the bed and went for a shower.
Asher had to have told her he loved the shoes, because she doesn’t seem like the type to care about heels like that.
I dried off from my shower, then wrapped the towel around my waist. My cell was buzzing away like it had secrets it couldn’t wait to share. With a quick look I saw that my mother, Parker, and Asher had texted. I answered Parker fist, since he was always too busy to respond.
“Hey, Mom is texting me because she’s not hearing back from you or Asher. Everything ok?”
“Hey, Asher is being Asher and I was in the shower. How dare I.”I texted back.
“Everyone has to get a shower. I don’t understand.”Parker responded.
“Parker, that was a joke.”
“I knew that.”
“Sure you did.”
“Mia’s been teaching me about sarcasm. I was saying I don’t understand why she has to text me in the few minutes it takes to get a shower.”
“Good job, Mia.”
“I told her what you said. She says thanks.”
“I’ll text her now. You know she’s just antsy because we never know what Asher is going to do next.”
“He usually listens to you. Mia says ‘how is Imogen’? Wait, she said she wants Imogen’s cell number.”
“He listens to me sometimes. I’m keeping an eye on him though. I don’t even know the cell number myself.”
“I can have her text Asher for the number.”
“I’ll give her Mia’s number and let her know Mia wants to chat.”
“When are you back in the States?”
“Not sure, I’m here for another week, then China for a few days.”
“You work too hard, you need a wife to make you relax.”
