"If you want to hang out with your pals later, just give a shout to your folks and we'll set it up for you." Rosalynn was beaming from ear to ear, thrilled that Cory could finally have friends his own age around him.
"Absolutely, once we move into the new pad, you can invite your buddies over!" Wayne chimed in.
Cory had never done anything like this before.
He gave a non-committal shake of his head, "We'll see when the time comes."
Who knows if they'd even still be in touch a month from now?
Back at the campsite...
Rosalynn and Wayne cleaned up Cory and Ivy with wet wipes.
Cory was out like a light in no time.
Rosalynn stepped out of the tent, dead beat.
"We could do with more of these outings," Rosalynn suggested, plopping herself down next to Wayne.
"Are you buttering me up?" Wayne grinned.
Rosalynn shot him a look, "Yep, I'm buttering you up."
Wayne was over the moon, "Hungry for more grub? Want me to start a fire?"
"Nope, I'm wiped." Rosalynn stretched out her shoulders.
Wayne walked over and gave her a shoulder rub.
Rosalynn cracked a smile, "Are we taking turns pampering each other now?"
"Absolutely," Wayne replied without skipping a beat. "I'll be your right-hand man from now on. If I ever falter or miss something, just let me know, and I'll take care of it promptly."
"Keep Ivy out of your shenanigans," Rosalynn said calmly.
"I haven't done anything of the sort!" Wayne protested indignantly.
