"That could be arranged," Tab replied with a smirk. "So you want some lunch since you're here now? I'm sure if nothing else she'll appreciate the thought."

Luke nodded. "I'll get the work done tonight." He was hungry now she mentioned it. "I have this feeling Andy hasn't broached the subject of Christmas with her at all because he doesn't want to think about it."

Tab finally slid off his lap, though she looked less than thrilled. But since her stomach had decided to make itself known, she figured she should try and feed them. With what, was another issue all together. She took Luke's hand and tugged him up. "I promise I haven't mentioned Christmas to him. I really was just wanting him to know he could come hang out whenever. Guess he's going to just hang out at Ali's anyway."

Luke shook his head and dragged himself up reluctantly. It was tempting to just stay there and fall asleep on the bed. "He's working. Seven days straight. Ali won't even have the pleasure of his company. I know why he's doing it, too. So it doesn't eat him. If he lets it, he'll want a drink. Work is the new booze."

Before they went down the stairs, Tab pulled Luke's head down as she raised up on tiptoes so she could kiss him. She could see he was tired, but they'd sleep after. She could never sleep while her stomach was growling. "Do we need to give an intervention? No one can work seven days straight. Even God took a day off."
