a glass of wine. We can all sit in the kitchen and visit.”
“Sounds good to me. Jake’s still watching one of his games. I’ll never understand why men are so obsessed about sports they’ve never once or ever will play.” As Kara stepped inside, she handed Alex the sack. “Here are all Zelda’s things. I gave her cat dish a quick rinse, but it’ll need a proper wash.”
“Thank you again for taking care of her.” Alex closed the front door once Chandler was inside. Both she and Kara looked on as Chandler released Zelda from her carrier. “I hope she behaved.”
“She was interesting, that’s for sure.” Her eyes focused on the cat.
After taking in her surroundings, Zelda threw an indignant glance toward Alex and then disappeared from view.
“Well, she’ll be a bit upset with me for leaving her,” Alex said. “But all will be forgiven when it’s dinner time.”
“Sounds like my husband.” Kara chuckled.
“Shall we?” Alex directed them toward the kitchen.
As everyone was taking a seat, Kara inquired, “Okay, so what’s going on between you two? First you spend a long weekend in New York, and then there’s your luggage, Chandler.”
“What about my luggage?” Damn it! Why did she have to be so observant?
“Why didn’t you have the driver put it in your house?”
“Would you like to tell her, or should I?” Alex turned and asked Chandler. “I can do it if you’ve lost your nerve. I know you were hoping to have a little more time to get up the courage. Perhaps a glass or two of wine first.”
“No, I said I would do it.”
Alex reached over and laid her hand on top of Chandler’s. “Are you certain? I really don’t mind.”
“No, no, I can do it.”
Kara looked at both of them. “You’re together, aren’t you?”
Alex looked at Chandler, to allow her to answer, but all Chandler did was smile and nod.
“Oh my God! I knew it.” Kara acted as if she’d known all along.
“Nothing gets past you, does it?” Her response was filled with sarcasm.
“I didn’t think you were that way inclined.”
“Well, to be honest, Alex is the only woman I’ve ever considered. Believe it or not, it was a surprise for me as well.” When she felt Alex entwine their fingers, a fleeting look passed between them.
Kara took a good look at Alex, and tipped her head to the side. She appeared to be contemplating something.
“I’m bisexual.”
“Of course you are,” Kara responded as if it was obvious. “Why wouldn’t you be?”
“You’re highly amusing.”
“What can I say? I try.”
“Chandler wouldn’t admit it, but I know she was worried how you would react.”
“Oh hell, I just want her to be happy. If you’re what makes her happy, then it’s fine with me. I’m only mad she didn’t say anything sooner.”
“I needed time to adjust to all of this. I’m not quite as liberated as you two,” Chandler said.
“So now that’s out of the way,” Kara began, “tell me all about your trip to New York.” Looking over at Alex, she gave her a wink. “I’ll get the other details out of Chandler later.”
Chapter 15
Three weeks had passed since Chandler had moved into Alex’s house to live full-time with her. There was a short period of adjustment. Mainly, it was Chandler learning to do her work without being distracted by Alex.
Alex worked about twenty-five hours a week between teaching, meeting with students, homework and staff meetings. Chandler, on the other hand, dedicated at least forty hours a week to her game designing. Even though she had a certain amount of flexibility with her work schedule, she tried to remain consistent.
Last night, it was after midnight before Chandler made her way to bed. In less than a week, she was meeting in Boston with her business partner and the other people involved with producing the Dark Raiders videogame series. She was on schedule, but she wanted to make certain she accomplished as much as she could by the time of the
