Love in the Age of Zombies (Book 1): My Zombie Honeymoon

  “Easy now, kids, save it for later when I’m not around,” Doc said with a grin.

  For dinner we splurged on canned ham, fresh salad (which isn’t very special for Michelle and me anymore), some very nice Old Mission Peninsula wine, and Michelle had baked a cake mix she scavenged. It wasn’t a white cake, just a yellow one, but the chocolate icing made it pretty tasty. Doc had his fair share of bourbon.

  I asked about the flowers—that was Doc’s doing. He’d scoured the neighborhood, looking for early daffodills and vernal witch hazel. God bless him!

  After dinner we sat around, drinking more wine (except Doc—he stuck with bourbon), laughing and talking and listening to some of Doc’s tall tales of life as a doctor. But about 10:30, Doc announced he was calling it a night, and gave us a surprise wedding gift: He’d changed the bedding upstairs and was sleeping up there, giving us the basement alone for the night.

  “Don’t think I’m doing it for your sake,” he said, “I’d like to get some sleep tonight. This is your honeymoon, after all, and you young lovers have a tendency to get loud.” Michelle and I both blushed, but Doc laughed it off. “Enjoy yourselves. I’m very happy for you and very jealous.” After filling a highball glass with bourbon, he grabbed his sleeping bag, headed up the stairs, and closed the trap door behind him.

  “We have the place to ourselves!” I marveled, as I heard the trap door close.

  “We don’t have to be quiet . . . !” Michelle sighed.

  “We can walk around naked.”

  We raced for the bedroom, fingers already unbuttoning our clothes, while visions of sugarplums—or something even better—danced in our heads.
