“It’s good seeing you again, Fi. We all miss your smart mouth.”
She busted out laughing. “Thanks, I guess…”
“Say hi to my cousin for me, okay? Oh, wait. I’ll see Ro tonight at Lucky.”
Ronan entered the stable and asked, “What’s tonight?”
Ryan bumped his fist against his cousin’s outstretched fist.
“You’re up early,” Ryan said.
Ronan wrapped his arms around Fianna from behind, resting his hands on top of her belly. “I can set my alarm if that’s what it takes to make the missus happy.”
“I wanted to see Stormchaser while it’s still quiet at the farm. I don’t want to risk it after yesterday,” Fianna said.
Ryan understood her concerns, especially since that runaway stallion scared the crap out of his sister just yesterday.
“Good choice, Fi. If there’s anything we can do to help or make things easier for you, just let me know, okay?”
Fianna gave him a warm smile. “I knew you always thought of me as one of your sisters.”
“He’d better,” Ronan grumbled.
Ryan shook his head, laughing. “I’ll go start my rounds. I’ll see you tonight, Ro.”
“I’m stayin’ home tonight, Ry. I feel like cuddlin’,” Ronan said before kissing the side of Fianna’s throat.
Ryan fought the urge to roll his eyes. “Why is it that only the single cousins are joining me tonight for our monthly cousin night out on the town?”
“Hey, I join you plenty of times. Just not tonight.”
Ryan just knew that if only the three Mills brothers Aiden, Liam and Roarke would attend tonight, he would be the odd one out.
Aiden and Liam made it their life goal to fuck around as much as possible, seemingly not having a care in the world while Roarke resembled Ryan the most, but he was almost ten years younger than Ryan.
“Maybe I’ll skip it too.”
Ronan furrowed his brows. “Why?”
Ryan shrugged. “I’m not really in the mood for the Miller boys.”
“Oh, that’s right. I’ll bet you’re in the mood for a petite blonde that just moved in next door.”
Ryan wanted to knock the stupid grin from his cousin’s face.
“Who’s telling y’all this gossip crap? Is it Emmy?”
Fianna zipped her mouth shut, but Ronan said, “I just overheard some stuff when I walked into the kitchen.”
Ryan needed to nip this in the bud immediately. “Who was there?”
“Your mother and Pops.”
Ryan pinched the bridge of his nose. “Great. Just the two biggest village criers of Austin, Texas and its surroundings.”
Fianna giggled but said, “Now, that’s no way to talk about your family.”
“It’s because they’re my family that I can give it to them straight. They know exactly how I feel about the two of them scheming and plotting.”
