Vivid blues burn into my brown. “I’m not evading.” His voice is controlled, measured, but harsh. “I just wanted to spend the day in bed with you. But maybe, snarky, you should go out before we have a fight neither of us wants.” “I’m sorry,” I sigh. “I don’t mean to be. I’m just tired. The baby is so wriggly. I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in so long.” Releasing my pinned arms, Jake moves down to my tummy. “Let your mama sleep,” he says. “If she’s moody and tired, Daddy doesn’t get any.” “Jake! Don’t say sex things to the baby!” “Don’t interrupt, beautiful. This is a father-and-son talk,” he teases. He glances up at me through his long black lashes. Just like that, the almost-fight is gone.”” [Samantha Towle](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/samantha-towle/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
