Last weekend, my wife and most of her family traveled to California for a wedding in their extended family. However, rather than trying to travel cross country with our 2 year old, I stayed home with our son. My wife’s brothers’ family chose to do the same thing, with our sister-in-law, Kelly, staying home with their own 2 year old.
On Saturday morning, Kelly texted me to see if I was interested in getting the kids together to play for a few hours. It might give each of us a bit of a break, she said, since we were both alone with the kids all weekend. It sounded like a great idea to me, so I headed over to their house mid morning.
I had never spent much time with Kelly absent our respective spouses, so I hoped it wouldn’t be awkward. I’d always had a huge, secret crush on her, so I was looking forward to spending some time with her.
