  Candace grinned. “What?” she repeated the question back to Jameson.

  “I asked you first.”

  “You don’t think it sounds good?” Candace asked.

  “I didn’t say that. Everybody knows you as Senator Fletcher. That’s your name.”

  “Actually, my name is Candace Stratton. It was until I married Jonathan. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to keep my ex-husband’s name. That’s not fair to my wife.”

  Jameson smiled. “I appreciate that. It doesn’t bother me. You do what you think is best.”

  “I will,” Candace said flatly.

  “Good.”

  “Senator Candace Fletcher might just be a thing of the past. Need to make way for Governor Candace Reid,” Candace said. She kissed Jameson and then leaned back in her arms again.

  “Gollum is gonna freak,” Jameson laughed in delight.

  “Well, he’ll get used to it. It’ll give him something else to gnaw on.”

  Jameson chuckled. “Good, I like my ankles.”

  “I do too,” Candace said. “Don’t worry, honey. He’ll have plenty of little Perez Hiltons’ heels to nip at. Should keep him off of yours,” Candace said.

  “Oh man…You are Mrs. Reid! I married my mother!” Jameson cracked.

  Candace laughed loudly. “Complete lunatic.”

  “Who happens to love you,” Jameson said.

  Candace sighed. “I love you too, Jameson. Just remember that tomorrow and the day after that.”

  “Don’t worry. I will.”

  “I’m counting on it.”

  THE END.
