And wouldn’t it be less strain on your eyes than trying to read an actual book in the dark? At least on the tablet you have a light.”
    “She’s a smart-aleck.” Arianna pursed her lips.
    “Like her mother?” Trevor whispered.
    Arianna smacked his arm. “You’re an ass.”
    Trevor shrugged. “It runs in the family. Remember the comments my brothers made the other day?”
    “You have brothers?” Mina put the tablet down on her lap.
    “I have nieces and nephews your age.” Trevor flipped on the turn signal and took the exit ramp. “I’m sure you’ve met Marissa’s kids. And then I have a nephew Keegan, who’s seventeen.”
    “Keegan’s your nephew?” Mina frowned. “I know him.”
    “How well?” Trevor raised an eyebrow.
    “I know him. I didn’t say I was dating him.” Mina rolled her eyes. “I know Marissa’s kids too.”
    “Shouldn’t you be asleep?”
    “Didn’t you just tell him I’m always up late reading?”
    “Right.”
    Trevor chuckled and pulled into the gas station rest area.
    “Are we getting food?” Mina opened the back door.
    “Yes.” Arianna leaned her head against the seat. “Think she’ll be okay to go to the bathroom by herself?”
    Trevor looked around. “At a rest stop at two thirty in the morning?”
    “Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.” She got out of the car and walked with Mina toward the door.
    Trevor took her hand. “I’m sure once you get home and things get back to normal it will be better.”
    Arianna sighed. “I’m working the next three Saturdays. Your family is going to make you go to Sunday brunch sometime.” She folded her arms over her chest as they stood outside the bathrooms. “We’re back to lunch breaks and time with us and Mina.”
    “I’m sure we’ll find time. She could stay with friends at least one time in the next couple weeks.” Trevor smiled. He leaned forward and captured her lips.
    Arianna’s eyes drifted closed. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
    He brought his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. “They’re playing our song.”
    Arianna cocked her head to the side. She strained to hear the chords she knew so well through the tinny speakers of the rest area.
    Trevor grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the sunglasses rack.
    “What are you doing?”
    He handed her a pair of sunglasses. “I believe the song said that you’d look great in cheap sunglasses. I wanted to see if it was right.”
    Arianna blushed as she put the sunglasses on. “What’s the verdict?”
    “The song’s right. You’d look great in anything.”
    Arianna hugged him tight and pressed a kiss to his lips.
    “Really?” Mina walked past. “We’re in public.”
    Trevor pushed Arianna against the wall and deepened the kiss.
    Arianna giggled and pushed him off of her, then wiped her mouth with her hand. “You are so bad.”
    Trevor shrugged.
    “Not the best way to get my daughter to like you.” She smiled as they walked over to the fast food counter.
    “I don’t know. I’m showing her that I care about her mother whether she’s there or not. Considering she thinks she was the reason most of the other guys in your life left, it may work to my advantage.”
    Arianna nodded. “In a backwardsly way that makes a lot of sense.”
    “Backwardsly?”
    Arianna shrugged. “I was tired one night and ended up sending Mina a text with backwardsly in it, she teased me and it kind of stuck.”
    “Nice.” Trevor nodded.
    “Can we order or are we just going to stand here?” Mina glanced at them.
    Trevor chuckled and they headed up to the counter.
    *****
    Arianna stood outside the house and yawned. “I think I’m going to sleep through until tomorrow morning.”
    “I’m thinking the same thing.” Trevor rested his forehead against hers. “So when do we see each other again?”
    “Connie sent me with exercises to do at home before I left, so I’m done with PT, but if you’re interested we could still have lunch the days you
