    Summary

    Amongst the chaos of raising four children, Colin and Penelope, now 45 and 42, struggle to find time for each other and balance their busy careers, while also doing their best to give their kids the attention they deserve as they grow up. A little bit of a mid-life crisis and mid-life reflection cause the two to reevaluate their priorities.

    --

    Colin stopped short when he re-entered the bedroom at the sight of his wife sitting at the edge of the bed, her legs crossed in front of her.

    “God, you’re so fucking hot.”

    When he reached her, he dropped down to his knees and leaned forward to kiss her. She spread her thighs to accommodate him, sliding her hands behind his neck and pulling him closer.

    “What do you want?” he asked, his voice gravelly.

    “Absolutely anything.”

    Summary

    “I don’t want your family thinking there’s something going on between us,” she spits out, the words sharper than she intends, the irritation evident in her tone.

    “Oh, and whyever would they think that?” Colin replies with mock incredulity, a roll of his eyes that only serves to sharpen her frustration.

    The words rush out of her before she can stop them, too fast, too angry. “Because of how you’re acting!”

    At this, Colin seems to straighten, his interest piqued, as if her acknowledgment of his behavior is some strange victory for him. “How am I acting?” he asks, a playful edge creeping into his voice.

    “Like some lunatic who can’t take his eyes off me!” The words spill out faster now, a tide she can’t hold back. “Don’t think I haven’t noticed the looks you’ve been throwing at me. Teasing me, like it’s some game—like sitting across from you at dinner wasn’t torture enough!”

    OR

    One night changes everything between Penelope and Colin. Now, Penelope is left questioning how their friendship can ever go back to what it was—while Colin is determined to show her that friendship is the last thing he wants.
