“Should I go find an egg timer and set it so you can take turns?” Addie asked.
“Hilarious.”
“But not a bad idea,” Allison added, giving him an overly bright smile.
“Considering Derek’s headed this way, we might need it.” Addie nodded across the room. “He’s been in an odd mood since last month. Hope he left it at home tonight.”
“I noticed the same thing when he’s called.” Even though Rock still held the baby, Allison reached out and touched his little hand. “I thought maybe it was my imagination.”
“Nope. Ever since your aunt convinced him to take part in the bachelor auction, he’s been in not so much a bad mood but not himself either.”
“What auction?”
His sister smiled, surprised she knew something Allison didn’t. “The foundation is holding a bachelor auction next weekend. Your Aunt Marilyn strong-armed Derek and your cousin Scott into taking part.”
“You’re kidding. A bachelor auction?”
Rock had a similar thought himself. Followed by, better Derek than him.
“Who came up with the idea of an auction? Not my aunt.”
“Rose, your replacement. At first, Marilyn was against it, but Rose won her over. So far, it’s been a success. Almost all the tickets have been sold.”
“I might come back just for that.” Allison nudged him on his good side and smiled at him. “My turn. Hand over my nephew.”
Damn, when she smiled at him like that, he couldn’t deny her anything. “Only because I love you,” he whispered in her ear before handing the baby off to her.
“Love you too, and I’ll reward you later. Promise.”
