I could blame him for that. I located his phone on the nightstand though and quickly found the contact I was looking for.

It was mid-morning, and Evan should be awake. He’d only kept Cooper for a few days, and then Roman had taken over chasing after their toddler and helping Beau where needed.

“Do you think Evan is awake? It’s Saturday, and I’m not sure when he gets up on the weekends.”

“He’s awake. If not, Lukan is and he can just go next door and wake him. Lukan doesn’t sleep much for whatever reason.”

That was probably an important thing to know. I touched Evan’s name and put that phone on speaker again. I wasn’t going to hide anything from Lewis, and this involved him just as much as it did me. Probably more actually as he was the one who would be “interviewed”.

“Lewis, what’s up? Are you ready for visitors?”

I chuckled. “Not Lewis,” I said.

“Hey Vaughn. Is everything all right? It’s not Elowen, is it?”

I smiled. “Everything is mostly fine, Evan. I’m calling to ask for a favor.”

“Sure. What is it?”

I gave Lewis a wide-eyed look. “You might not say that once you know what the favor is.”

“It’s all good. We’re family. What do you need?”

There was no good way to share this, so I was just going to spit it out. “Apparently my parents who have lived in Europe for a long while have decided they are coming here to visit without checking with me first.” I sighed.

“Oh that’s tough. When are they coming and how does that involve a favor?”

I made a face because Lewis started laughing.

“Oh, hey, Lewis. Can he hear me?”

“Yeah, you’re on speaker.”

“How is my little princess?”

I saw Lewis roll his eyes. “My princess. You get one when you find your mate and have one of your own.”

“Aww, don’t be that way, Lewis. It’s probably going to be forever before I find my mate and Beau has two boys. I want a princess to spoil.”

My mate sighed before he set the bottle down and moved Elowen up to his shoulder and started gently patting her back.

“Is he gone?”

“No. He’s burping Elowen,” I told him.

“Okay. Anyway, what did you need? Something to do with your parents I assume.”

“Yeah. They’re here. Well, they’re in Honey Creek.”

“Here now?” Evan asked.

“Yes. I need for you to maybe escort them up here for us? I wasn’t expecting them, so them showing up is quite a surprise. I haven’t gotten them clearance to come to Treasure Ridge, so I need to figure that out as well.”

“I got this,” Evan said. “I’ll contact Master Edison and get it taken care of for you. What are their names? That’s in your file though, but I need to know what to call them when I go down to meet them.”

“Dunstan and Catherine. You can’t miss my father. He’s a grumpy, tall gargoyle that’s ancient old, and very much looks it.”

“Got it. I’ll see what needs to be done and take care of it for you.”
