“Wow,” Jesska breathed as she stepped out. “It’s stunning.”
Kaspar nodded and took her hand, leading her to the front door. He kept his arm around her waist as he rang the doorbell, and then the door was open and Jesska was pulled into a bear hug by Sophia. “You’re finally here!”
“Hi, honey,” Jesska said, hugging her niece tighter. “How are you?”
“Good,” Sophia said. “Come and meet everyone. Oh, my gah, Jess, my sisters are so cool.”
Jesska stepped inside and didn’t have much time to appreciate her surroundings before she was dragged upstairs and into a large great room where Megan sat with a group of people Jesska didn’t know. Megan stood and rushed to her for a hug and then introduced her and Kaspar to the family.
The next morning, Jesska smoothed her hands down the thighs of her jeans as she stared at herself in the mirror. She looked so different. Younger... better. Her skin was incredibly clear, not a blemish in sight. She still had a few freckles, but they looked less like sun damage now. And her hair was beginning to lighten to what it had been when she was a child.
Kaspar wrapped his arms around her from behind. “I’m going to miss you today.”
“Are you really not joining us this morning?”
“I have a few things to catch up on, but I will meet up with you at lunch. Along with the rest of the men.”
Jesska sighed. “Y’all are leaving the wives to shop alone. You do realize how unwise that is, right?”
“Which reminds me,” he said, and pulled out his wallet, handing her a credit card. “Shop to your heart’s content.”
“Oh, really?” she asked. “What’s the limit?”
“Limitless.”
“All cards have limits, Kaz.”
“That’s not actually true, baby.”
“Seriously?” she challenged. “So, I could, I don’t know, buy a house for two-point-five-million dollars, outfit it with a million bucks worth of furniture, and then buy myself a hundred-thousand-dollar BMW, and do it all on this card?”
“Yes.”
“Shut up!”
He chuckled. “It’s limitless.”
She shook her head and handed it back to him. “Um, no way am I carrying this around with me. What if I lose it?”
“Then I’ll get you a new one.”
“It’s worth a lot of money.”
“It’s a piece of plastic,” he countered.
“A piece of plastic that’s worth a lot of money.”
Kaspar laughed. “Baby, it’s protected. It’s yours to do with as you like.”
“I really don’t have a limit?”
“You really don’t have a limit.”
“Oh, okay.” Jesska bit her lip. “But I won’t really buy a house and a car.”
“I know you won’t. They’re difficult to fit on a plane.”
“There is that,” she conceded, and held her hand out. “Hand it over.”
