  Josiah sat up and threw his legs over the side of Gypsie’s bed. “Let me take care of the girls, baby. You need your rest for round two in my bed later tonight.” He kissed her forehead. “Go back to sleep. I’ll see you later.”

  “What about the conversation with the girls?”

  “We can do it tomorrow, next week, or next year. It doesn’t matter because you and I are in this forever. Okay?”

  “Okay.”
