  • Other than Caleb spitting soup everywhere, Ben thought this visit to his brother’s was going much better than usual. It helped that when Caleb returned in a new shirt, he seemed to have lost some of his cocky attitude, like he had been given some troubling news or something. Ben thought about asking if something was actually wrong, but when he remembered how good hs older brother had it, he decided against it.

    Riley rejoined them shortly after her trip to the bathroom, and Ben had the satisfaction of again seeing his brother’s jealous gaze at his hot wife.

    “Mm hm,” Ben protested dreamily, and tried to hold onto her as she extracted herself from his arms.

    “I love you too, honey,” she said with a melodic laugh, and kissed him on the forehead.

    He let her go, and was quietly snoring in seconds.
