Sanaii was cutting carrots for dinner when the phone rang.
“Can you get that, baby?” she called to Tee.
The ringing stopped and after a few minutes of muffled conversation and the sound of her son’s laughter, Etienne ran into the kitchen and happily threw his arms around his mom’s waist.
“ Hey, you’re going to make me cut myself knucklehead!” she teased.
“Sorry, mom. I just got excited. Dad’s on his way over.”
“What?” asked Sanaii almost dropping the knife.
“ Yeah, he said had to go to Hawaii for business and he wanted to stop by and pick me take me with him if it’s alright with you? It’s alright right, ‘because I already told him yes.”
“ Well, thanks for letting me know. Ask don’t tell next time, but I’ll let you slide. Is he on his way now?”
“ Ah ha,” said Tee chomping on a carrot slice, “ he said he was going to stay here for a couple of days before we flew off.”
“Oh,” Sanaii said feeling butterflies start in her stomach.
This would be the first opportunity she had to interact with Luc for more than a couple of hours since his divorce from Alisa. Sanaii had made a point to try to keep more distance between her and Luc after their phone sex incident. She knew she was too vulnerable after Jared’s death and Luc’s reciprocal desire for sex were more temptation than she could handle. Luckily, Etienne was old enough to have a bit more autonomy and though she worried endlessly, he was quite good flying to meet his dad. When Luc did come to visit, they had dinner together as a family in restaurants,and if she did invite him over she would often slip out to the movies or a friend’s house, leaving he and Tee to have their alone time. It worked for the most part. She still had an undeniable itch for Luc, and the heated glances she often caught him giving her told their own story.
She’d kept up her run around the Luc routine since the divorce, feeling like she needed it now more than ever. As strong as her feelings still were, she resolved to not get back on the emotional and sexual rollercoaster that was Luc. It was a wild fun ride for sure, but guaranteed to leave a girl feeling hung over.
His surprise visit worried her a little.
“I’m a big girl now. I can handle it.” she coached herself.
“Huh?” asked Tee.
“Nothing,” Sanaii said wiping her hands on a dish towel. A half hour later the doorbell rang.

Lucas was done trying to gently woo Sanaii. He had tried being subtle, solicitous, sending her notes and flowers every now and again- nothing too pushy or too overt. He wanted her to lovingly fall into his arms after enough appropriate post-divorce time had passed.
At his request, Lucas and Alisa had gone back to marriage counseling after his phone call with Sanaii. Sanaii’s obvious maneuvers to give him some space made things easier for him. He and Alisa tried for a year both to mend their fences and get pregnant but neither was successful. Lucas’s refusal to go for one more fertility treatment was the last straw for Alisa. The loss of his marriage was a deep wound for Lucas. He felt like he failed Alisa and himself. He was glad they hadn’t had a baby that might feel half the pain he felt watching his parents conflagrate before his eyes.
Luc was gettng over it. Hell, he was over it. The moment he decided to fly into the Philadelphia on the spur, he knew what he was there to do. He had tried to play up his more mature, softer side to win Sa slowly back into his bed.
Fuck that, he decided. He knew exactly what she needed to get her pretty ass in gear and he was going to give it to her.
