Caleb still couldn't quite believe this was happening. But Katie had showed up at his house bright and early to babysit Scottie, so he couldn't bail now. He told Katie to call him if they needed anything, no matter what she knew he'd be doing at the time, and he reassured Scottie that she could call him to come home whenever if she wanted him to. But after he told her about her birthday present--that Katie was gonna do a mural in her room and Scottie could ask for anything she wanted in it and help design it--it was like he didn't exist. Scottie took a few seconds out from jumping up and down to hug Caleb goodbye and then took Katie's hand and dragged her off to her room to plan her masterpiece.

As he drove to Seth's place, he tried very hard not to let his thoughts wander to all the things that might trip him up. Step 1: Ignore the ethical questions about hooking up with someone who doesn't know about your past lives and who has a husband in said past life, because you don't have an answer. Step 2: Stop worrying about whether spending the day in bed with someone before you're sure you're ready to actually date them is cruel, or a mistake, because you're both consenting adults who want it. Step 3. Focus instead on how very, very attracted to this man you are and kiss the hell out of him as soon as he opens the door.

At least he nailed step 3.
