Brody kisses my temple. “Told you the party would be fun.”
“I didn’t say it wouldn’t be fun. I said…” I trail off because I can’t remember why I was nervous about the party.
Daisy rushes into the house. “I can’t believe this. Why would he do this? Why wouldn’t he tell me?”
Her fiancé Lennon chases after her. “Petal, I’m certain he has a reasonable explanation.”
She glares at him. “Siding with the man, are you?”
To his credit, Lennon doesn’t run away. He captures her hands and draws her near. “I’m on your side. Always and forever.”
“What’s going on? Why is Mom freaked out?” Elder glares at Brody. “What did you do?”
“Why are you accusing me? I didn’t do anything.”
“You didn’t switch out all my underwear to a smaller size?”
I slap my hand over my mouth before my giggle can escape. It was beyond hilarious watching Elder walk around with underwear too tight on. Forest even took him aside to promote the value of going bottomless while Miller tried to convince him to go commando.
“You shouldn’t have told Soleil about the car I bought for her. It was supposed to be a surprise.”
Peace arrives, scans the room, and marches to the brothers. He forces his way in between Brody and Elder. “Enough. Trust me. You have other things to worry about.”
He nods toward the door. Everyone in the room turns to watch as Damon walks inside with a small girl hoisted on his hip and holding Love Hill’s hand.
“Go on. No one’s going to bite you,” he encourages Love Hill.
“About damn time,” Brody says.
Elder glares at him. “You knew about this?”
Brody snorts. “As if you can keep a secret from me.”
“Welp. I guess we can add Damon’s name to the babysitting pool,” Ashlyn announces.
Chapter 39
No one’s going to welcome me with open arms? ~ Message from Love Hill on the Winter Falls Facebook page
Love Hill
“There,” I say as I finish braiding Skye’s hair.
“I’m a princess,” she says as she twists her head back and forth to flick her braids.
“You are.” I nod.
Skye is literally the most adorable child to walk the earth. From her blonde curly hair to the freckles covering her face – adorable.
“Thank you, Nanny Love.”
She’s also the sweetest, most polite child in the world.
Damon walks into the room and I ignore the way my stomach dips and my heart rate increases. He’s off limits. He’s my employer and the father of this wonderful child in my care.
“Are you ready, sweetheart?”
Skye jumps off the bed and runs to him. “I’m ready, Daddy!” She lifts her arms and he immediately picks her up and twirls her around.
