Zach went home that afternoon still reeling. He’d woken up this morning a mostly single elementary school teacher. Yes, he had a woman he’d been off and on, more off than on. They were basically back up friends with benefits. When neither was seeing anyone else and needed to get their strange on, they ended up with each other rather than hang around the one bar on this side of the lake to pick up people looking for a one night stand. At least this way they knew what they were getting into and wouldn’t wake up to find their houses robbed or car stolen. Both had happened to someone in the area a few years before, so Zach and Marci had come to an agreement. He and Marci had been friends for years, and while they were good friends, they didn’t care about each other that way. That reminded him.
