The momentwe enter the cottage on the beach, Tennyson runs up to me and wraps his arms around me. “Want to see the picture I drew?”

“Of course I do,” I answer back with a big smile.

He hands me a picture with three circles and lines from the circle. “That’s us,” he says.

I can make out the three people with what appears to be a kite. “Is it us flying the kite on the beach?”

He smiles wide, like I just answered the million-dollar question. “Yes.”

I show Gabriel, and he smiles. “I’m going to hang this up in my office at home. Is that ok?” he asks Tennyson.

Tennyson smiles. “Yes. In a frame.”

I smile at Faye, thanking her for watching him and then we get busy packing to return to Colorado.

“I can’t believe we really have to leave,” I tell Gabriel as we pile into the SUV to take us to the airport.

“We can always come back anytime you want.”

A rush of warmth floods my system, making me feel like with Gabriel anything can be possible. And maybe one dayallof us can come here.

I busy myself with helping Tennyson get calm before the flight, and texting Erin to tell her we’re coming back to town.

I glance down at my phone as soon as the plane takes off and see an unread text message from Ronin, saying, “Bishop knows.”

I’m going to have to tell Gabriel everything soon.

Chapter 34

Gabriel

Being back in Colorado makes me a bit on edge. In St. Thomas, I didn’t have to worry every five minutes for Clementine’s safety. Here, I do.

I dial Dean’s number.

“We still haven’t found him,” Dean says, answering on the first ring.

“Thank you.” I carry a sleeping Tennyson onto the helicopter to take us back to the estate. Where the fuck is this mother fucker? I have so many questions for my brother. “Let’s change tactics. Find Bishop instead.”

“On it,” Dean says, hanging up the phone.

“What’s wrong?” Clementine asks into the headset as soon as the helicopter lifts off the ground.

I take her hand, kissing her soft skin. “Nothing we can’t handle.”

The minute we get home, Dean greets us in the foyer. “We have some solid leads.”

I had dinner ordered, and Clementine, Dean and I sit down to eat while Faye takes Tennyson to bed.

“I want everything with this wedding to go off smoothly,” I tell Dean over a rack of lamb. “I don’t want any surprises.”

Dean nods his head.

“Do you think Bishop will show up?” Clementine asks.

I place my hand over hers, giving it a little squeeze. “I don’t want you to worry about anything. Dean will make sure nothing happens.” I glance over at Dean. “Right?”

Dean nods again. “We couldn’t have more security possibly fit in the building. I want you both to know we’ll be tracking Bishop’s movements the day of the wedding.” Dean takes a drink of wine. “Is the wedding all set?”
