He ducked back in the room. “There’s no dudes in there, right?”
She laughed. “Go. I’ll be right down.”
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“No, I did not.”
He made a little growling sound and headed down the hall.
She brushed her teeth and freshened up, got dressed, and ran into Zeke in the hallway. “Morning.”
“Do I want to know why you guys were laughing so much?”
She patted Cody, Zeke’s dog, as the massive Akita leaned into her. “Just an impromptu concert.” She bent down to Cody’s massive head and nuzzled. “I’m going to miss you.”
“Yeah?”
“The dog,” she said with a deadpan face.
“Nah. You’re going to miss us, too.”
“Maybe.”
“You’re good for him, you know.”
She tipped her head to the side. “I know.”
“Cocky brat.”
She wrinkled her nose at him and grinned. She crouched down to the dog. “Cody, I smell bacon. Do you smell bacon?”
The dog’s tail swished madly.
“You spoil him worse than I do. How are you going to have kids?”
She caught herself before she landed on her ass. Barely.
Zeke’s eyebrows shot up. “Oh, shit. Domestication on the horizon. What are you doing to my best friend?”
“We haven’t talked about that. We just started living together.”
He hauled her up. “Couldn’t tell. Seems like years. You fit in, and he loves you stupid, Izzy B.”
“Yeah, well, let’s not scare him off, all right?”
Zeke twisted an invisible button in front of his lips. “Got it.” He looked down at Cody. “Got it?”
Cody gave a short, loud bark.
“See? Secret.”
She rolled her eyes. Secret, my ass. She followed them down to the kitchen. The stereo was on and Journey blared from the music room. Emerson and Julian were belting out the words to “Wheel In the Sky” and passing out plates of jumbo slices of French toast.
By the oven, she got a peck on the cheek from Julian and a plate shoved in her hands. “Fixings on the table.”
She spotted Logan at the table and sat down. “I’ll miss the morning production, even if my cholesterol won’t.”
He leaned over and kissed her and because he tasted like syrup, she lingered a bit before pulling back. He waggled his eyebrows then shoved another bite in his mouth.
