The aunts paid the meal, holding the hands of their nephews as they drove home. They each received a long embrace from their aunts in front of their bedroom door. Stacey and Trish said nothing to one another the rest of the night, showering together, packing a few last minute items, and went to sleep in each other’s arms.
The next morning brought more silence. Aaron and Bennet took them to the airport, they received quick hugs from their moms and they went on their way.
“Do you think they’ll tell each other?” Aaron asked, watching his aunt and mother walk toward the security checkpoint.
“No idea. But honestly, we’ve had this secret for so long, I don’t care if they did,” Bennet replied.
“Me neither.”
