She gives me a huge smile and nuzzles my nose with hers. “Have I told you what a great father you are?”
“I do my best,” I reply and bury my face in her neck. “How am I doing as a husband?”
“Um, you might be my favorite husband.”
“I’m your only husband, woman,” I growl against her skin, causing her to laugh.
“Good morning,” Sammy sings as he appears with Lovie.
“Good morning,” I say as I look at him.
“I would like to go to the mainland with Lovie. There’s a card trading store we would like to visit.”
I knit my brows. I have Maldonado on a project for me today. He won’t be able to go with Sammy.
I haven’t missed that Sammy has been spending more time with Lovie lately. I look to Tasha, and she shrugs.
Before I give Sammy an answer, he begins to hum. The tune catches my ear, but I’m not certain I know what it is right away.Tasha has locked in on him as she seems to have caught the tune too.
“Are you humming “New York” by Jadakiss and them?” She questions.
Sammy looks up at her through his lashes and gives her a small smile. He nods his head and hums. “A hundred guns, a hundred clips. Yup.”
“What do you know about that— You know what? Never mind.
“You said it’s a card trading store? Lovie, are you okay with this?” Tasha says.
“Yeah, it’s cool. I have a few rare cards I’m trying to find. It might be fun. I’ll take him.”
“Where’s Jamie? Is he going?” I ask.
“He’s getting dressed. He’ll be here in a minute.”
“What’s with the matching backpacks?” Logan asks as he walks into the dining area.
I narrow my eyes, homing in on the backpacks both Lovie and Sammy are wearing. I’ve never seen Sammy with this bag before. Before they can reply, Misha walks in with his wife and two of their children.
“Hey, Auntie, you want to come with us to the mainland?” Sammy asks.
I lift a brow. A smile comes to her face. “I do need to look for a new bear for Mishutka Mishyenka. He dropped his in the water and now he’s having a fit over it.”
“Dad, can we go?”
“Yes, you can go. I want you to stay close to Lovie and Jamie. Call me if you run into any issues.”
“Okay, thanks. I’ll be good.”
“Can I go too?” Milanie asks with a smile on her face as she moves to place her hand in Sammy’s.
I watch and wait for him to flinch away. I nod my head and pull a face when he doesn’t. Instead, he doesn’t look at her, but he does give her hand a squeeze.
“Yes, you can come with me. You wanted a new swimsuit, right?”
“Yes, Mommy. The one I have is too small.”
I can see that.Milanie has been getting tall and she’s not as thin as she once was. Misha might have a problem in the making.
“Let me go grab my purse.”
