game.”
    “To a point. And I wouldn ’t care except he doesn’t exactly use discretion or common sense. Paul pointed out it was a matter of time before he either slept with someone whose father would care, or got someone pregnant. I tried to just give him rules, but he doesn’t take it seriously.”
    Flynn nodded . He wouldn’t expect Jess to accept limitations on his sexual exploits from Kenny. “Looking back, I can honestly say I wish someone would have reined me in, but I only get one chance to make that point with Jess.”
    Kenny looked up over Flynn ’s shoulder. "You gave me some good news and advice, I’ll return the favor. Teri’s back. What are you going to say to her?"
    "Making it up as I go. Right now I ’ll settle for getting her to smile. The Hail Mary will be to get her out of the house."
    "Yeah , lotsa luck with that." Kenny rolled his eyes.
    "You guys bet at all?"
    "Until very recently, we were always broke."
    "It ’s not about money, it’s about the challenge. Bet you I can get her out of the house in the next twenty four hours."
    "For how long? To get the mail? Not biting on that one." Kenny shook his head.
    "For at least a half hour. That ’s progress, right?"
    “Against what? ” Kenny eyed him nervously.
    “You have to be open minded about me and Teri.” That wasn’t asking much, right? To Flynn, Kenny already seemed to be willing to give him a chance.
    "You ’re on," Kenny said with a smile.

    Teri watched Kenny go before approaching Flynn and taking his place on the sofa.
    “Kenny seems happy. ”
    “I believe I mentioned your boys are going to be rock stars.”
    “The noise downstairs implies they knocked over their drums again. ”
    “T here was a minor mishap.”
    “Care to elaborate? ”
    “Do you really want to know? ” Flynn asked, a teasing upturn to his lips and a twinkle in his eyes.
    Teri really wanted to take his picture. She fought the impulse , but Flynn took her hesitation as indecision.
    “Jess started picking on Dev while they were playing . Dev tripped him and he fell backwards into the drums. I guess Kenny’s been fighting this sort of thing for a while. He won’t be anymore.”
    “You think you can put an end to Dev and Jess fighting?”
    “No. They ’ll still fight. Kenny just won’t try to stop them anymore.”
    “I d idn’t see that coming. So you heard them play?”
    “Yes , they’re good.”
    “ Bryan needs to learn to play the drums.”
    “ Bryan knows how to play the drums,” Flynn laughed.
    “I have an economy size bottle of Tylenol on my nightstand that says otherwise. ”
    Flynn smiled and shook his head. “ Bryan just gets distracted when he can’t hear Dev and Kenny anymore. I’ll call Drew in and we’ll give him some pointers. When’s his Spring Break?”
    “Third week in April ,” Teri answered without hesitation.
    “Is that a good time or are you planning on taking them somewhere? ”
    “It ’s Dev’s birthday, but it should be fine. If it comes down to Bryan learning the drums or a quick trip somewhere tropical, my head and Kenny win: Bryan gets drum lessons.”
    Flynn chuckled and shook his head. Teri knew he was a few years older than her, but he didn’t look it. She was briefly jealous until she realized how much work it must take to maintain that appearance.
    “You ’re not thinking about drum lessons,” Flynn accused her. He wasn’t laughing anymore.
    Damn. Teri wasn ’t sure what she was thinking. Aside from, once again, wondering what Paul was thinking. Actually, Flynn seemed to know his stuff. Of course he would, he’s been doing it long enough. Maybe that was what Paul was thinking.
    “My mind wanders sometimes. ” Teri stood up. “I should see what Nicholas is planning for dinner. He tries, but he’s got a limited number of things he can make. Are you staying?”
    “Actually the boys are kind of excited , I was thinking of just taking you all out.”
    Teri hesitated . “I . .
