JoJo beamed at him. “Thank you.”
I glared. He hovered over Penelope a little too much for my liking. And when she thought no one was looking, my daughter’s gaze on him lingered a lot too long.

“Kane!” JoJo said, even as she giggled.
“What?”
She kissed my cheek. “I love you, you crazy insane man.”
“I love you, my beautiful warrior wife.”
