PERCIE
“You don’t have a plan to get drunk, do you?” Grandma added before I walked out of the library.
“No promises,” I sang.
“Percie?”
“I said no promises.”
I went back to Hailey. She was already sitting on the ottoman. One thing I noticed was the lit candles in every corner of the place.
“Hey, you’re back. Are we gonna sleep in your car?”
I smiled. “Not tonight. How did these candles get here?”
“I don’t know. One of the staff, her name is Donna. She just started lighting candles. The smell is incredible. I thought this is your idea.”
“Nope, but I’ll thank her and Grands later.” I uncorked the wine, poured two glasses, and I offered a glass to Hailey. I sat beside her and wrapped my arm around her.
I raised my glass. “Happy two months, Lee.”
She looked beyond shock as she stared at me. I leaned over to kiss her lips.
“Happy two months.” She sipped her wine.
