It became a tug-of-war between them. “Shit!” Finally coming to his senses, he slammed the bedroom door closed. He heard Macy dash for the master bath and close herself in. As he stared at the door, laughter bubbled up in his chest. Then, taking a deep breath, he opened the door an inch. “Mom, hold on. I’ll . . . be right out.” I’ll just leave,” his mom yelled, obviously shaken.””
