Cullen paused again. “No. He said that after the divorce he had to rearrange his life so he could spend time with his son, plus his schedule is always up in the air. Most women don’t like to be second or third on the list of priorities.”

Luna bit her lip. “So I guess I’m not even on the list.”

“I wouldn’t go that far. He is genuinely interested in you.”

“Did he say that? Did he?” Luna was looking for reassurance.

“He didn’t have to. Jeez, sis, do you need a building to fall on top of you? For a psychic, you really stink at your own personal stuff.”

“Hey, watch it. Listen, being skittish is in our DNA. Look at us. We are in our midthirties and acting like teenagers.”

Cullen chuckled. “You have a very good point there, missy. So how about we encourage each other to make a move.”

“Oooh, Cullen, that would be so out of character for you. And me,” Luna said thoughtfully. “Not the encouragement part. I mean the make a move part.”

“OK. So how do I get Chi-Chi to invite me to kiss her?” Cullen folded his arms and leaned against the worktable.

“Duh. Invite her to dinner. Someplace romantic. After a glass of wine, you’ll both be relaxed. Then you can take her hand across the table and give her a wonderful compliment as you gaze into her eyes.”

“I’m not Cary Grant or even Hugh Grant. That only works in the movies.”

“Bull-oney! Instead of being cynical, how about trying a little positive thinking?” She cocked her head and gave him her sideways stare.

“What if she flinches?” Cullen whined.

“Oh my Lord! Can you just try it? If she pulls her hand away, then you’ll know. You’ve got to get out of your own way, my brother.”

“You should talk! I see you all gaga over Chris.”

“Yeah, well if he’s interested, why hasn’t he made a major move?”

“Did you give him the green light? I mean, have you ever leaned in?”

“What do you mean leaned in?”

“I know he’s kissed you good night. Right? So, why didn’t you just turn into a limp noodle and let the sparks fly?”

Luna burst out laughing. “Listen to us arguing over who is the bigger chicken.” Luna walked over to her brother and gave him a big hug. “You know I’m your biggest cheerleader. Trust me on this one.”

“And what about you? What’s your next move?”
