Arlene's POV
Once dinner is finished and the twins are tucked safely into their beds, I finally allow myself to unwind and attempt to cleanse myself of the bitter emotions I absorbed during our time in Carolyn City. While drying my hair with a towel, I catch sight of Warner positioned at our usual gathering place, a cigarette between his lips. I make my way downstairs to join him. Without hesitation, he shifts his position to create space for me to settle between his legs.
"Is this your normal size?" I tease him playfully. "You weren't nearly this big during our reunion."
