“Thanks.” She tried to remember what department Tuesday worked in while she relaxed until it was time to exit the huge tub.

Than commented, “Your hair is remarkably well-behaved considering the workout it just had.”

“I told you. Tuesday brushed it. She got out all the knots, and it didn’t even hurt,” she mentioned over her shoulder and then went to take a seat in one of the chairs while Owen and Armand remained dead to the world.

She looked around and found her cell phone on a small table. She swiped it and started looking for contact information for Tuesday. She didn’t have any. Maybe Ford had something. He had recorded vocals for a few things, and as Tuesday’s voice was way better than Renner’s, Tuesday had been the choice song after song.

She sent a note to Ford and was advised to contact the company. He didn’t have the information either and needed clearances for the songs. No one had signed the contracts, and some of the videos were in mid-production.

Renner frowned. That wasn’t like Antonio’s legal department. Jax must have been preoccupied. She had his contact information, so she sent him an email and hoped that he got back to her within the day.

Than, wearing a towel, walked over to her and crouched down. “Why are you so fixated on this?”

“A person that barely knows me was here and moving around in silence next to all of my very scary mates with no concern. And then, she took care of me when I couldn’t move around. That’s fucking weird.” Renner muttered, “I am getting to the bottom of it.”

“Persephone, are you wanting something to eat?” Mateo spoke loudly.

She said, “Yes, please. Do you want me to get Armand up?”

He chuckled. “Can you do Owen as well?”

“I can try.” She focused on the sensation of pouring water down their spines. They woke up and jolted apart.

She looked at Mateo. “It worked.” She switched her attention to the sleepers. “You both smell. Go shower, and we will get some food. If you are fast enough, we may save some for you.”

Owen grinned. “Our link works.”

Armand slowly had a smile replace his scowl. “It does.”

“Great. The shower works, too.” She flapped her hands at them and cinched her towel in place. Fudge. She only had her work clothes there.

There was a soft knock at the door. Mateo went to answer it, and after a moment, he returned with a dazed expression and a garment bag held in his left hand. “Persephone, this is for you.”

Than opened the zip, and a beautiful nightgown in black and gold was hanging there, the cutout areas filled with lace in a spiderweb design.

Renner looked at it. “Oh, wow. Did one of you get this?”

Mateo shook his head. “I would have, but I didn’t have time.”

She looked at Than. “Can I wear this?”

He sniffed at it. “It seems fine. No weird scents.”

She grabbed the gown and pulled it over her head. It was perfect. A tag was left in the bag, and she went after it. It opened into a card.

Persephone, congratulations on your first heat. See you, Tuesday.

She blinked. “How did she know?”

Than frowned. “How well do you know Tuesday?”

“Uh, just casually. Why?”

“That gown is very custom. My family's marks and Mateos are in the lace. Wait. There is a tiny race car for Armand as well. How could she know that?” Than said softly. “I think I would like to meet this Tuesday.”

She ran a hand down the silk. “Yeah. I think that is in the cards.”

Mateo said, “My housekeeper said that the garment bag just appeared. In the kitchen. While he was standing with his back to the chair where it landed.”
