After they all finished dinner, Jay stood up and said, "I'm gonna get going."

Emma asked, "Are you sure? You should stay for dessert. We have ice cream."

Jay nodded, "As tempting as that is, Em, I have a call scheduled with Manny in a little while, and I need to get home."

"Oh, okay." Emma smiled, "Tell her, I said hi."

"I will." He looked at Sean and said, "Thanks for inviting me to dinner, man. I appreciate it."

Sean stood up and said, "You're welcome. Thanks for coming." Sean put his hand on Jay's back and said, "I'll walk you to the door."

Jay looked at Drew, "Bye, kiddo."

"Bye." Drew grabbed his backpack and said to Emma, "I have to finish my homework."

Emma nodded, "Okay, sweetie. Do you want some ice cream?"

"Maybe a little later."

"Well, you let me know, and I'll bring some down."

"Thanks."

Drew walked down to the basement while Sean and Jay walked to the front door. Jay joked, "I could have walked to the door alone, Cameron."

Sean whispered, "I'm going to a store tomorrow to look at suits, and I'd like for you to come with me."

"Okay, I'll help you."

"Cool. We'll go at lunch."

Jay smiled, "Have you come up with a plan?"

"I have a couple of ideas."

Emma called out, "What are you two whispering about?"

Sean turned and said, "Work stuff. We didn't want to bore you with it."

Emma raised an eyebrow and said, "Uh-huh. Goodnight, Jay."

"Goodnight!"

"See you tomorrow." Jay walked out, and Sean walked into the kitchen, "Do you need help cleaning up?"

"Nope. I put everything in the dishwasher."

"Ah, good idea."

Emma smiled and looked at him, "Oh, Oliver is coming over again tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Yep. They need to finish their project."

Sean nodded, "Ah, right. Perino."

Emma laughed, "Drew said he's trying to make it so Perino doesn't want to die during the presentation."

"Some things never change, huh?" Emma nodded, and Sean said, "I'm going to take a quick shower. I feel grimy."

Emma smiled and kissed his nose, "Okay."

"And afterward, I'll join you on the couch so we can watch those crazy housewives."

Emma laughed, "I love you."

"I love you more."

Drew sat on his bed and attempted to read the first two chapters of The Great Gatsby. He couldn't get into it. "Ugh, I can't do this." He leaned his head back on his headboard and groaned. "This sucks."

A few moments later, Drew's phone buzzed, and he looked at it. He got a text from Maddie, so he wrote, "How did you read this book for fun?" As he waited for Maddie's answer, he stood up and walked over to his desk.

Emma called out, "Drew?"

"Yeah?"

Emma walked into his room with a bowl of ice cream. "Here." She handed it to him, "I figured you'd want some."

"Thanks!"

She asked, "How's reading going?"

"I have no idea how Maddie read this book for fun. We have to read the first two chapters tonight, and I can't even make it two pages."

Emma giggled, "You're so much like your dad."

"Did dad do well when he applied himself?"

Emma nodded, "Yep."

Drew's phone buzzed on his nightstand, and he walked over to it. "This is probably Maddie. I just asked her how she read this for fun." He looked at the message and said, "She says it's one of the best books ever written."

"Some people say that. It's hit or miss. You either love it, or you hate it."

"I think I'm going to hate it."

Emma shook her head, "Eat the ice cream, then go back to it."

Drew nodded, "Okay. Thanks again, mom."

"You're welcome. Oh, and if Oliver wants to stay for dinner again tomorrow night, he can."

He asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, silly." She walked over to Drew's door and said, "Good luck with those first two chapters."

"Yeah, thanks."

Emma closed the door and walked to the basement stairs. She looked at Drew's closed door and smiled.

After his shower, Sean put on a pair of pajama pants and a tank top and headed downstairs.

"Ah, much better."

Emma smiled at him, "I always knew you'd become a sexy man."

Sean laughed, "Oh, please."

"What? You are." He shook his head and sat on the couch next to her. Emma asked, "You don't think I think you're sexy?"

"Oh, I think you think I'm sexy, but I don't think I'm sexy."

She smiled at him and asked, "What do you think about yourself? Honestly."

Sean shrugged and said, "I'm okay, I guess? I don't know. Guys aren't sexy. Women are sexy."

Emma laughed, "Guys can be sexy. Have you seen Idris Elba?"

Sean smiled, "That's true. He is a good looking guy."

"So are you."

"Okay, I'll play." He asked, "What's so sexy about me?"

Emma didn't hesitate and said, "Your arms. I love your arms."

Sean raised an eyebrow, 'Yeah?"

Emma nodded, "Yes. I love holding onto them while we make love." She traced her finger across his collarbone, "I also love your chest and abs."

"Thank you."

"And your face."

Sean laughed again, "Even with the bruising?"

Emma nodded and leaned forward, "Yes." She rubbed her nose against his nose, "And your mouth."

Emma kissed him, but Sean pulled away after a few moments. He cleared his throat and said, "We probably shouldn't do anything with the child right downstairs."

"Fine, let's go upstairs." She stood up and held out her hand.

Sean looked up at her and asked, "No housewives tonight?"

Emma shook her head, "Nope. And I'm sorry you're going to have to take another shower before bed."

Sean scoffed, stood up, and said, "I'm not."

Drew finally made it through the first two chapters of The Great Gatsby and afterward, texted Maddie. "I finally finished the first two chapters. That was torture."

She immediately sent back a laughing emoji.

Drew shook his head and put the book into his backpack. He also looked over the notes he took before he put his notebook into his bag. Drew then texted Oliver to tell him he could stay for dinner again.

Drew's phone rang almost immediately. It was Oliver.

"Hey."

"Hey."

Drew could tell something was wrong by the tone of Oliver's voice and asked, "What's up?"

"I can't come over tomorrow."

Drew asked, "Why not?"

"Because my mom is an asshole."

"Oh." This news disappointed Drew. He hoped he could be alone with Oliver without having to worry about people seeing them.

"I got a 51 on my last math test, and she's punishing me." Oliver said, "She sucks."

"What about your birthday?"

"I can still have people over for that, but if I get another bad grade, no party."

Drew asked, "Would she let me come over to work on the project? Maybe if she knew we were doing work, she'd allow it, and we can show her our project."

Oliver said, "Hold on."

As Oliver was asking his mom for her permission, Drew crossed his fingers.

When Oliver came back, he said, "Ugh, she said no."

"I'm sorry."

"Whatever."

Drew said, "We can work on the project during lunch tomorrow. That's no problem."

Oliver sighed, "Yeah, I guess."

Drew asked, "Did you read Gatsby yet?"

"Yeah. I don't like it."

Drew laughed, "Neither do I."

They talked for a little while until Oliver's mom yelled at him to get off the phone. "Ugh. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Bye."

Drew ended the call and sighed. He was disappointed that Oliver couldn't come over. He looked at the clock. It was only 9 o'clock, but Drew felt exhausted. He decided to go to sleep early.

About an hour later, Emma and Sean were lying in bed together; her head was on his chest, and he played with her hair.

Emma traced her fingernails up and down Sean's bare chest and said, "That was so good."

Sean smiled, "Yeah?"

She raised her head and nodded, "Yeah."

He asked, "What was so good about it?"

She sat up against the headboard and said, "Everything?"

Sean laughed, "I think it's so good because we love each other so much."

Emma nodded, "I agree." She smiled and said, "And it's because you're so sexy."

He laughed again and said, "You're embarrassing me now."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not sexy. You're sexy."

Emma asked, "What's so sexy about me?"

"Everything about you is sexy to me. Your face, your body, the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you move while we're making love, the noises you make while we're making love."

Emma caressed his face, "I feel the same about you. I also love how you sound when you say my name."

"Oh yeah?"

She nodded, pulled the blanket down, and straddled him, "Yes. It's hot."

Sean smiled up at her, "Do you know how happy I am right now?"

Emma leaned down and asked, "Is it because I'm naked and straddling you?"

"Well, yes, that's pretty nice. But, at dinner, I looked around the table at you and Drew, and I felt so happy at that moment. I've never been this happy." Emma smiled, and Sean caressed her face, "I just love you so much, and I'm so glad we're together again."

Emma smiled, "I love you too."

Sean asked, "Can we make a date for Saturday night?"

"Sure."

"Good because I just want to stay up all night making love, and then we can be lazy lumps all day on Sunday."

"That sounds perfect." Emma leaned down and kissed him. When she pulled away, she asked, "Would you like to make love again tonight?"

"Like you even have to ask?"

Drew woke up early the next day, and he was ready for school and eating breakfast when Sean walked down the stairs.

"Hey buddy, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I fell asleep early last night and woke up early."

"Ah, I see." Sean walked over to the coffee maker and poured water into it, "So how does your day look today?"

"Oliver's mom said he couldn't come over today, so we have to work on our project during lunch."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Drew shrugged, "He got a bad grade on his Math test, and his mom wasn't happy. She's even threatening to cancel his birthday party."

"Well, I hope that doesn't happen."

"Me too."

Sean asked, "How's everything else? Did you start The Great Gatsby?"

"Ugh, dad, I'm two chapters in, and I already hate it."

Sean chuckled, "Yeah like I said last night, I didn't like it either." Sean lowered his voice and said, "I'm going out today to look for a suit."

"A suit? Why?"

"Well, one, I don't own one other than my dress uniform, and I never want to wear that again. And two, I think I want to propose to your mom while we're both dressed up. Make it fancy."

"But you're not fancy."

"I know." Sean asked, "You don't think I should make it special for your mom?"

"Dad, I think you asking mom is special enough."

"I know, but she's expecting it, and I still want to make it a memorable proposal."

"You will."

"I'm still buying a suit because I need one. Your mom sells beautiful homes, and if I go to parties with her, I should look nice on her arm."

Drew smiled at his dad and finished his breakfast. Emma joined them a little while later and smiled at Drew.

"Why are you up so early?"

"I passed out early last night."

"So, Oliver coming over, right?"

Drew shook his head, "His mom is mad at him. He didn't do well on a test."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Will you have time to work on the presentation today?"

Drew nodded, "During lunch."

"Good." She looked at Sean, who was drinking his coffee and staring off into space, "Babe, are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Sorry I was thinking of some things I need to do today at work." He hopped off his stool and said, "And speaking of work, I better get going." He pat Drew on the back, "Have a good day at school."

"Thanks."

He walked up to Emma and kissed her quickly, "Have a good day."

"You too."

Sean walked to the front door, turned around, and said, "I love you."

Emma smiled, "I love you."

Sean walked out, and Drew said, "If I were a normal teenager, I'd be so grossed out by you two."

Emma laughed, "I'm sorry."

Drew shook his head, "Don't be. It's nice to be the only kid with parents who truly love each other."

Emma opened the fridge and said, "I'm just going to grab something quick to eat, and then we can head over to Degrassi."

"I'm not in a rush to get school, mom."

Emma smiled and said, "Very funny."

As soon as Drew arrived at Degrassi, he walked to his locker and said, 'Hi' to Maddie.

"You hate the book so far, eh?"

Drew smiled, "Yes."

"It gets better."

"Sure it does." Drew got the books he needed for his first two classes, checked his hair, and closed his locker.

Maddie asked, "So, did you invite Oliver over?"

"I did, but now he can't come over."

Maddie asked, "Why not?"

"Go in trouble."

"Boo. That sucks."

Drew nodded, "I know, but we'll work on the project during lunch."

"Who cares about the project?"

"Uh, I do. Perino's a hardass, and I want to do well."

"Good morning, kiddies." Ethan opened his locker. "How is everyone doing?"

Maddie shook her head, "I want the day to be over."

Drew laughed, "It hasn't even started."

She closed her locker and said, "Exactly."

The first bell rang, and they all walked toward their homerooms.

Sean and Jay were in his office. Sean was working on some paperwork while Jay was sipping his coffee and watching Sean work. Sean asked, "How was your phone call with Manny?"

"It was fine."

"Just fine?"

Jay rolled his eyes, "She was too tired for phone sex."

Sean shook his head, "You're unbelievable."

"Look, we all can't be like you and Emma." Jay asked, "So how many times did you two have sex last night? Two? Three times?"

"No comment."

Jay shook his head, "Still in the honeymoon phase, huh?"

Sean smiled but didn't say anything.

"Come on. Give me one morsel."

Sean asked, "Why are you so interested in my sex life?"

"I'm just curious."

Sean looked at his computer screen and said, "Three times."

"Ugh, I hate you."

"We're making up for all the time we lost."

"So, you'll be having crazy sex for the next 14 years?"

Sean laughed, "I doubt that. I'd be happy with 14 weeks, though."

"You're halfway there."

Sean stood up, "Okay, get out there and get to work." He tossed Jay a set of keys, "Silver BMW. It's all yours."

"Fine." Jay stood up, "Let me know when you want to leave for lunch."

"I will."

Emma and her stager Jessica were at the house in Rosedale, going over what they wanted to do with the master bedroom. Emma nodded as she looked through the sketches.

"Jess, this is perfect. It's going to look so good on video."

"Putting this house and property on video is a smart idea."

Emma nodded, "People should see how the house flows. You can't do that with pictures."

Jessica asked, "Will they do drone shots outside?"

"Yep! I'm going over the final plan with the production company on Friday. But I feel as if the pool has to be a focal point."

"Good idea."

Emma asked, "So when can the staging be done?"

Jessica smiled, "I can get everything in here by Sunday."

Emma nodded and asked, "Do I need to be here?"

"Well, it would be good for you to be here so you can approve everything."

"Okay. What time?"

"Afternoon. I don't want to wake up early on Sunday, either." Jessica chuckled and closed her sketchbook.

As Sean was about to leave his office, the phone rang.

"Man, I cannot wait for that administrative assistant to start, so I don't have to keep answering the phone."

Jay snickered. "Neither can I."

Sean shook his head and answered the phone, "Cameron's Custom Cars." Sean looked at Jay, "Oh, hey there. Is everything okay with the car?" Sean's eyes widened, "Really?" He wrote down an address on a piece of paper and nodded, "Sure, thank you. That would be incredible. Okay, see you then. Bye." Sean hung up.

"Is something wrong with someone's car?"

Sean shook his head, "No, Drake invited us to a party at his place this weekend. He wants to introduce us to some people."

Jay asked, "Are you fucking serious?"

Sean nodded and said, "I am fucking serious."

"Holy shit!"

Sean asked, "Did Pete even make it in today?"

"Nope."

"Okay, I'll tell him tomorrow." Sean grabbed his jacket, "Now I definitely need a suit or something."

Jay asked, "How do you dress for a party at a place like that?"

Sean laughed, "Oh God, I have no idea. But now I have a real excuse to go shopping and don't have to lie to Em anymore."

"Is she invited?"

"Jordan said to bring dates."

"Shit. Manny is going to be so upset that she's missing this."

"Let me call Em." Sean grabbed his phone and called Emma.

Emma ran over to her phone, saw it was Sean, and smiled, 'Hey babe."

"Uh, we have plans Saturday night."

She asked, "We do? What are we doing?"

"We are going to a huge house on Bridle Path and hanging out with Drake and his friends."

"I'm sorry. Am I hallucinating, or did you say what I think you said?"

Sean laughed, "You are not hallucinating." He walked out of his shop and over to his truck. 'I am heading out now to shop for clothes."

Emma giggled, "Are you really?"

"Yes. I have nothing good enough to wear to a party on Bridle Path."

"Well, if you don't find anything today, we can always go after work on Saturday, and I can help you out."

Sean said, "Drew is going to flip."

Emma said, "Oh, poor Drew. He's not invited, is he?"

"Just spouses and girlfriends."

"Okay. I'll have dad stay with him."

"Or we can let him stay home alone. He is 14."

Emma said, "We'll discuss that later."

Sean laughed and started up his truck, "Em, I'm heading out. I'll call you later."

She smiled and said, "Have fun shopping."

"Oh yeah, I'm sure I'll have loads of fun."

"Bye." Emma ended the call, looked at Jessica, and said, "Um, Jess, how do I dress for a party at Drake's mansion?"

"Are you serious?"

Emma nodded, "My son's father owns a shop that customizes cars, and he worked on one of Drake's cars. As a thank you, Drake invited Sean and his crew to a party, and Sean's taking me."

"Emma, this is so exciting!"

"I know. Maybe I should Google famous people and see how they dress when they go out."

"That could work."

Emma shook her head, "I can't believe this is happening. Our son is going to freak out."

'How's this?" Sean walked out of the dressing room in a gray suit jacket with a faint checkered pattern outlined in black, a dark purple button-down shirt, and black dress pants.

"You look pretty good, Cameron."

Sean looked at himself in the mirror, "Are the colors okay?"

Jay smiled and said, "The shirt brings out your eyes."

Sean shook his head and rolled his eyes, "You're such an asshole."

"I was serious! I think Emma would like it."

Sean looked at himself again, "I don't like how I look in a suit."

"You're just not used to it. You're used to wearing jeans, t-shirts, and jumpsuits. I think you look good."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. I like that the jacket and pants go together but don't match. You don't want to look too buttoned up. You want to look cool, and you look cool in that getup Cameron.

Sean nodded, and the woman who helped him pick out the suit walked over.

"Wow, you look great." She walked up behind him and straightened his jacket. She walked around him, looked him up and down, and said, "That shirt really brings out your eyes."

Jay said, "See?"

Sean asked, "Do you think my soon-to-fiance will like it?"

The saleswoman smiled and said, "I think she'll love it."

Sean looked at himself one last time and said, "Fine. I'll take everything."

"Great! Come to the front when you're done."

She walked out, and Jay asked, "Do you have shoes?"

Sean nodded, "Yes. I do own one pair of black dress shoes" He walked into the dressing room and asked, "Do you have something to wear?"

"I do. I haven't worn it in a while, but I think it's spiffy enough for a shindig at Drake's."

Sean was careful when hanging everything up, and when he finished getting dressed, he stepped out of the dressing room with everything. "Okay, I'm all set." He looked at his phone, "We can stop off somewhere and pick up something to eat."

Jay nodded and said, "Sounds good to me."

"Let me pay for all this, and we'll be on our way."
