“This is exactly what I mean. You’re a child.”
He punches his hips against my stomach again and those darn sparks ignite again. “I am not a child,” he grits out.
“Found them!” Sage shouts as the door bangs open.
“Oh my.” Feather sighs.
“Yeah,” Petal squeals. “This is going to be my new favorite project.”
“What are we going to name this one?” Clove asks.
“Project Opposites obviously.” Cayenne motions toward us.
I push Brody away and make my way toward the door.
“Good luck with your little project,” I say as I push past the gossip gals.
They won’t be getting any help from me. Brody is way too young and immature for me. I have enough trouble making sure my friends are taken care of. I don’t need another person to mother. And I certainly don’t want a significant other who needs mothering.
“It’s a challenge. I do love a challenge,” Sage says.
“Challenge accepted!” Brody shouts.
Great. I think I just waved a flag at a bull. A bull who’s living in my house. Never mind. Bullfighting can’t be that hard. I know how to knit. I’ll have a red cape knitted in no time. See if Brody dares to come near me then.
Chapter 37
Llamas never learn. ~ Text from Harmony to Elder
August
“Lucy,” I warn.
She huffs.
“I’m serious. I need to get home to Robin.”
The llama is not impressed. I can’t blame her. Between Juniper and Maverick jet-setting around the world and me having a family now, she’s not getting as much attention as she’s used to. We should have never spoiled her, to begin with.
“I have some juicy watermelon straight from the farm.”
Her ears perk up at the word watermelon and she makes her way toward me. I grasp her harness and pat her side. “Good llama. Let’s go get you some watermelon.”
I turn around and startle when I discover Elder standing in the field.
“Phew. I thought she was going to escape.”
At the word ‘escape’, Lucy pulls on her harness. I rub her neck. “Shh… There will be no escaping today.”
“I’ll take her.” Elder holds out his hand for the harness.
My brow furrows. “Why? And what are you doing here?”
He grins. “I have a surprise for you.”
“What is it?”
He chuckles. “The definition of surprise is you don’t actually know what it is.”
