Very cute! I liked Jack's approach with his suggestion that they show the youngsters how it's done.

Thanks Jeanine! The boys aren't THAT old (not in my mind anyway) but I guess they feel old compared to the young 21 year-olds out on the town. I know who I'd rather hang out with though :)

I so pleased that you read it too! I love the "feeling out" part of a story - all that lovely tension and lust simmering away under the surface. Mmm :))
More soon!

Oh Anna, our boys' first date is so cute! Even with children!

I am giggling when I read this:

...He smiles back. “He’s a handful isn’t he?”

My mind hits the gutter as I immediately imagine a different kind of handful. I clear my throat and nod. “Oh yeah.” ...

And this:

...Ennis drops his gaze to my drink and I notice that my hand is gently stroking up and down my cup...

It looks like they are going to have another date, this time all alone, without kids, can't wait for that!

Thanks Hua!
I'll make sure that the boys get an adult date soon enough, but there may be a few obstacles in the way first. Things move so much slower when the kids are involved (as I'm sure you know!)
More soon :)

Yeah, Jack's not known for being too subtle is he?? I have a feeling that this Ennis might be a bit more astute than OS Ennis though :)
