her tongue out. “I bet you and Shane didn’t wait.”
    Cassidy laughed. “As a matter of fact we did. I made him wait. I sent him home all horny and desperate.”
    “I find that hard to believe. How long did you make him wait?”
    “Okay, so he was back at six o’clock the next morning. Still horny and…yeah.”
    Summer laughed. “Yeah. That’s more like it.”
    “Still, though. Carter’s different.”
    Summer smiled. Yes, he was—very different. Very special. “I know. I’ll try to be good.”
    Cassidy looked up at the sound of the buzzer signaling someone had come into the gallery. “I’d better go see to them,” she said.
    Summer ate her sandwich while she waited. She couldn’t help smiling to herself at the thought of her evening ahead. She should get going soon. She wanted to go to the grocery store to get stocked up and get everything she’d need for dinner. She loved to cook, and she was looking forward to cooking for Carter. She smiled as she wondered what she should make for dessert. Whipped cream would be good! No. She needed to stop thinking like that. She should let Carter go at his own pace.
    Cassidy came back in.
    “That was quick.”
    “Yeah, it was just one of the ladies from my seniors’ art class. We’ve invited them to our engagement bash.” Cassidy chuckled to herself. “They’re a hoot and they did play a part in bringing me and Shane together.”
    Summer made a face. “So you’ve invited them, but not me?”
    “Oh, shit! I didn’t even think! We did all the planning last week. Of course you’re invited. That goes without saying.”
    Summer laughed. “Don’t worry. I was only teasing. I’m just surprised that I hadn’t even heard mention of it. What are you doing? When is it?”
    “A week from Saturday. We’ve booked one of the function rooms up at Chico.”
    “Great. I’ve never been there.”
    “You’ll love it. It’s really cool. It’s like a little resort. There’s the hot springs and a lodge and guest cabins and then the saloon, and the restaurant is fabulous. Get this! They call it the dining room!”
    Summer smiled. “It sounds awesome. And the restaurant is good?”
    Cassidy nodded. “The food’s great and they have a wonderful wine cellar.”
    Summer nodded thoughtfully. “And it’s open during the week?”
    “Yeah, why?”
    “Maybe Carter and I should go there tonight. Going out for dinner might make it easier for me to resist temptation. I think I’ll be tempted to trip him up and beat him to the floor if we spend the whole evening at my place.”
    Cassidy laughed. “If you’re that horny, then maybe the two of you should go out.”
    Summer nodded. Maybe they should. She jumped as the back door opened behind her.
    “Hey, G,” said Cassidy. “Look who’s here.”
    Gina came in and smiled at Summer. “Hi! I’m glad you’re back. How are you feeling? How’s your voice?”
    Summer nodded. “I’m great thanks, glad to be back. And now that I think about it, my voice is doing surprisingly well.” She looked at Cassidy. “You haven’t told me to shut up once today.”
    “You’re right. I hadn’t noticed till now, but you haven’t croaked at all!”
    Gina laughed. “Well, I guess that’s good then.”
    “It’s great,” said Summer.
    “Just don’t go overdoing it,” said Cassidy.
    Summer rolled her eyes. “Yes, Mom!”
    Cassidy shook her head. “Don’t give me that! Just because I’m the responsible one and I care.”
    “You do make a good mom, though,” said Gina. “Are you practicing for the real thing?”
    Summer looked at her in surprise. Joking aside, she’d never thought of Cassidy as the maternal type. Her getting engaged to Shane was wonderful, but the thought of them having babies was a little surprising, to say the least.
    Cassidy shook her head. “Not yet. Jesus, Gina, we’re only just planning our engagement party. What about you? You’re getting married in a couple of months, any baby plans for
