stored, ready to be reassembled in their new home.
    Pete lay flat on the hard concrete floor, letting the delicious cold chill of it sink through the hot, sweaty skin of his bare back.
    “Congratulations. I didn’t think we’d finish it all so fast. For a kitty cat you’re not a bad worker,” teased Nicholas.
    “Now who’s being catty?” replied Pete.
    Curtis interrupted. “Seriously, I want to thank you both, Pete, Josh. It was a mammoth effort to get all those sets packed up in just a week. Truly I appreciate it.”
    Pete sat up. “Not a problem. We were happy to help.”
    Nicholas turned to leave the building and said over his shoulder, “Autumn told us about you two and Serena. Always remember, women like romance. Flowers, chocolates, girly stuff. They also need to be told, as well as shown, you love them.”
    Pete felt like one of the wooden sets had landed on his head. “That’s it? We ought to buy flowers and chocolates and tell her we love her? That’s the answer?”
    “It’s worth a try, don’t you think?” asked Curtis, following Nicholas out the door and closing it behind them.
    “I can’t recall everything we said to Serena, but I don’t think we actually told her we loved her and planned to mate her,” said Josh very slowly.
    “But she’s smart, bright, intelligent. She would know we don’t go buying sex toys and hiring hotel rooms for one-night stands.” Pete sat quite still for a long moment. “However, the fact is we fucked up or she wouldn’t have left us. Therefore, flowers, chocolates, girly stuff, and ‘I love you’ for our next date.”
    “Absolutely. But what’s girly stuff?”
    “We’re banned from talking to any of the female panthers, so let’s go see if Zara’s still around. She should be able to tell us.”
    Pete grabbed his clothes, shrugging his damp, sweaty shirt on and knotting the sweater around his waist. Now he wasn’t working he’d cool down fast, and catching a cold wasn’t on his to-do list right now.
    They walked through the building and were just in time to see Zara lift a box of props prior to stacking it on a shelf.
    Josh rushed forward. “That’s too high for you. Let me.”
    “Thanks. It’s heavy.”
    Pete felt a little embarrassed. “Actually, we’re here to ask you a female question.”
    “A female question, huh? Well, I guess I’m qualified to answer it. Ask away.”
    For a moment Pete wondered if she knew all about the trouble with Serena. She did look kind of as if she was smiling on the inside. Hell, likely the entire community knew all about them already.
    Josh spoke first. “Do women like to be told they’re loved? And bought chocolates and flowers and girly stuff? And what exactly is girly stuff?”
    “Yes, yes, stuffed toy animals, perfume, her favorite anything.”
    “Wait. Slow down. Could you unpack all that for me please?” asked Pete.
    “I think all people everywhere like to be told they’re loved and appreciated. Women do need the words, whereas men seem to prefer actions. I don’t know what Serena likes, but by finding out and buying her favorite flowers, or her favorite perfume, you’re demonstrating you care about her, showing her you’re thinking about her and want her to be happy. Some women like stuffed toy animals, or china figurines, or the latest romance novel. By taking the time to find out her preferences and buying her something she really would like, you’re showing her she’s not a quick fuck but someone you genuinely care about. And good luck. She’s a lovely person who deserves two fine men like you,” added Zara.
    Pete had to physically force his mouth closed. Zara had sliced and diced his life and told him exactly what to do in two minutes. He’d spent five days worrying about it without coming to a conclusion. She’d solved it in a snap. “Thank you.”
    “You’re welcome.” Zara closed the storeroom door and waved as she walked over to her little yellow car to go home.
    “We need to
