“Oh he probably plays around now and then but I’ve never seen him with anyone steady or important. He seems to spend most of his time away from work with the twins. He’s a great dad.” Agnes looked closely at Maddie. “Call him again Maddie. He is so wrapped up with those babies I think he might need a push in a romantic direction.”
Maddie shook her head and looked sad. “There is so much crap that happened between us.” She felt tears prick her eyes. “Annie. Walter.” She had to control her voice which felt shaky. “Our baby.”
Agnes nodded. “Yes, there is a lot of crap between you but also there was a lot of good times and a lot of love.” She smiled at Maddie hopefully. “And you never know unless you give it a shot.”
Maddie nodded. “Maybe.”
Agnes brought the phone over to Maddie. “Dial.” She ordered her former boss. “Just tell him you were wondering how Jay is doing and that you brought him a toy. Ask if you can stop by tomorrow night. The worst he can say is no.”
But David didn’t say no. He invited her for dinner. He told her he was sorry he had seemed like he was blowing her off the night before but he was chasing two naked kids around the house who didn’t want to stay in the tub.
“I was slipping and sliding all over the house trying to catch naked sudsy twins.” His voice was filled with mirth as he heard Maddie laughing on the other end of the phone. He had always loved her laugh. “Yeah it’s funny know but I almost broke my leg when I slid across the kitchen floor.”
“Were you naked too?” Maddie giggled at the thought.
“No!” David burst out. “But I was soaking wet too. Good times.” He chuckled.
Maddie laughed as he regaled her with the twins’ bath time antics.
