Everyone was already there and looked up. As they took us in, London lifted her chin.
It was quiet for a moment, then Daisy raced over. She collided with my legs.
“Hey, my little darling.” I tapped her nose. “Why aren’t you in school?”
“I had a sore tummy today. Daddy said I could stay home.”
I stroked her hair. “Feeling better?”
She grinned. “Yes.”
I saw Colt roll his eyes. Clearly Daisy had conned him.
“It was funny how the sore tummy came on when she heard we were planning lunch today,” Colt grumbled.
“London, this is my niece, Daisy. Daisy, this is London.”
“Hello.” Daisy shot her a gap-toothed smile. “I know that London is in England.”
London crouched. “Hi, Daisy. You’re right. My mom always wanted to visit England, so that’s why she called me London.”
Daisy’s brow creased, her gaze on London’s scrapes. “Oh, you’ve got boo-boos.”
“Yes, but they’re getting better.”
Daisy gently touched London’s temple. I watched my woman’s face soften.
“It always helps when Daddy or Macy kiss my boo-boos.”
London smiled.
“Did Uncle Kav kiss yours?” she asked.
I saw London’s cheeks fill with color, and I grinned. My brothers all chuckled.
“I bet he did,” Beau murmured.
London cleared her throat. “Ah, well…”
Daisy leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to London’s cheek. “There you go.”
“Thank you.”
“So, you’re Uncle Kav’s girlfriend?”
“Oh. Um…”
“Yes, she is,” I said.
London sent me a shocked look. I was a little shocked myself, but it felt right. I drew her up. “Come on, darling girl.” I lifted Daisy onto my hip. “What’s for lunch?”
“Lola made crawfish étouffée!”
“And it smells fucking great,” Beau said.
“Uncle Beau!” Daisy cried. “That’s fifty cents for the swear jar.”
Beau grunted. “How much is my tab now?”
