    Summary

    She doesn’t know what she wants. She does know it isn’t six kids and a lifetime of crowded vacations, but whenever she’s alone with Steve and he looks at her the way he does, nervous the way he gets, and she feels flustered back? That tells her there’s something real there that’s maybe worth eventually exploring to see just how fixed this dream of his is.

    Summary

    “My mom is hosting a potluck,” Nancy says, watching Robin closely. “The kids are coming. Well, you know. Half the kids are in my house all the time now. But the other kids are coming, and we thought…” It’s hard to know who’s included in that we, and Robin doesn’t press… “it might be nice to widen the age-range a little. You know, so I’m not stuck in the middle of an Erica-Dustin face-off.”

    There’s a way Nancy has about her, a quirked smile and doe-eyes, that Robin has seen work on Steve many a time. It shouldn’t work on Robin, but she’s only human.

    “OK, yes, I will come. I will accept my status as a better seatmate than Erica or Dustin.” Especially Dustin lately, she doesn’t add, though she could.

    “Great.” Nancy’s tone is crisp. She turns, curls flying, and tosses over her shoulder—“Steve’s welcome too, you know.”

    Because of course that’s what it’s about.

    Summary
