Alex draped his arm across his daughter's shoulders. "We should be getting home. I'll give you a call about the time."
As Alex and Kristy went to the door, Amanda followed. She watched Alex pluck his shirt from a low tree limb, then walk with his daughter out of the yard.
Heather tugged on Amanda's arm. "He's cool, isn't he, Mom?"
Cool? Not exactly the word Amanda would use. She gave her daughter a hug. "He seems very...nice. Now, why don't you and I take those cookies and iced tea outside and get cooled off? I really think we might have to invest in an air conditioner for my bedroom. On hot nights like this, you could sleep with me."
"You know, Mom, Kristy's house has central air."
Of course, it would. Amanda would not think about Alex on hot nights or in his air-conditioned bedroom. She would not think of him at all.
