They head inside and I have this moment of wondering what the fuck I'm getting myself into. I realize, within about five seconds, that I've hardly spent any time with the two of them, together. They've got this rhythm about them, and it'd be easy to feel like a third wheel.

But they're beckoning me to follow, so I do, pausing just long enough to pet the dog on the head, then choking out a laugh as I watch Danny suck icing off his finger.

"Danny, you're such a fuckin' mom, there's no way you're not the wife around here."
