What did she want me to say? She’s frustratingly sexy? I’m annoyed with myself for thinking about her all the time? I stood and took my plate to the kitchen. “I barely know her.” “This is the problem with men. Especially Haven men. Not the best communicators.” Mom set her teakettle on the stove with a laugh. “Isn’t that the truth.” “Hey,” Dad said. “We both know you speak half English, half caveman.” Mom moved closer and gave him a quick kiss. “Fortunately, I speak both.” He grunted. Mom shook her head with a soft laugh.
