This must be Sebastian. The VP of The Dixie Wardens. The firefighter.
I liked firefighters.
“You don’t remember me from last night, do you?”He asked with a wide smile on his face.
I shook my head, feeling the tail of my hair hanging at my back swish and sway with the motion. “Nope.”
I popped the ‘p’ as I spoke, putting emphasis on the fact that I couldn’t remember a thing about last night other than the events leading up to getting hurt, and when we were just arriving home.
Sebastian and Loki traded that secret look again, making my eyes narrow on the two.
“Why do you keep making those looks to each other? What’d I do?” I asked Loki.
“I,” he said, “will tell you later.”
I crossed my arms over my chest. “You can tell me now...”
My voice trailed off when Loki’s phone rang, and he handed over the little girl to her father and walked out of the room without a backwards glance.
“Well wasn’t that just convenient,” I muttered to no one in particular.
So much for not leaving me.
The big man holding his daughter snorted. “You can say that again. He’s been avoiding us for months now.”
My attention turned from his daughter to him. “What do you mean?”
“He hasn’t come on a run with us in over six months. Keeps ducking out at the last minute. Doesn’t come by the club. His best friend hasn’t even seen him in weeks now,” he explained.
He sounded like his dog had been run over by a semi.
“I’m sorry,” I said.
I was genuinely sorry for the fact that his friends thought he had changed, but I didn’t really know what to say to that. Loki had been the same since I’d met him. He was passionate about his job. He cared about his community. He was a good man, and an even better police officer. Was that bad?
“Nothing you’ve done, sweetheart,” Sebastian said as we moved towards the kitchen.
He placed Blaise down on the ground.
His daughter followed her parents as we walked up to the granite island. I was left with Baylee and Sebastian both staring at me curiously.
“What? Do I have something in my teeth?” I asked worriedly.
Baylee giggled. “No, we’re just curious. We’ve been wondering about you for a long time.”
“Me? Why?” Surprise laced my voice.
Baylee busied herself with cracking eggs into a bowl as she spoke.
“We’ve heard a lot about you, but we haven’t actually seen you. Loki’s been undercover, and then out of town for so long that we were beginning to wonder if he’d ever pull his head out of his ass and make a move,” she explained lightly.
I watched as she whipped the eggs with a fork, and then poured them into a frying pan.
“Oh, well it was never his fault. It was mine. I have a certain hang up about cops,” I said quietly.
“Daddy! I’m pooping!” A young boy’s voice followed my statement. “Blaise is playing in the shaving cream!”
Sebastian cursed and ran out of the room after the child I hadn’t even seen disappear.
