They’d had to go downstairs and file the paperwork, but when Paige left the courthouse, she had what she needed to claim her daughter. Temporarily. She could get her daughter back on her insurance. She could get her into school. She could take her to the doctor.

She could be her daughter’s mother again.

Not that all those things made Paige not her daughter’s mother. But she could take Leah to the grocery store and not be arrested. That last one was huge in Paige’s book. Huge.

Paige pulled out the note the security guard had placed in her hand in the hallway. Noon. That and an address were all it said.

Dexx glanced at the note, one hand on the wheel.

They hadn’t taken Jackie. They’d taken Leslie’s Acura. Likely because it had four doors and more room, but Paige didn’t remember that conversation.

He handed her another note. It read, Bring the witch. We have a lot to discuss.

Paige took in a deep breath. What she really wanted was a breather. The huge, aching rock in her chest was gone. The hole in her heart could heal. Finally.

Dealing with the shapeshifter population really wasn’t on the list of things to do that day. Maybe it should be, but it wasn’t. She had to get paperwork for Bobby so she could get him on her insurance that she didn’t have. She had to get his birth certificate, apply for his social security card if Heather hadn’t done that already. If she was doing it for Leah, she might as well do it for Bobby, too. All the same time. One stop shop.

Two months, though. She was stuck there for two months.

Yeah. She should probably go deal with the shapeshifter situation. Two months was a long time to tight-rope walk. They needed a plan to deal with Merry Eastwood.

Also, she needed to pack up her apartment. Dexx had to move the stuff out of his storage unit. Shit. Where would they put all their stuff? She’d go through and donate a lot to Goodwill. She didn’t need a full kitchen.

She could settle into the job. Director. Henry was offering her a department. Where else would she get that? In what other place could she be fired from one job and be given a director’s position for the very reason she was fired? Nowhere. Nowhere.

She pulled out her phone and located Henry’s contact.

“Hey, Paige.”

“Hey, Chief. About that job offer.”

“I’m at your door.”

“Huh?”

“Just get over here and we’ll discuss it. Okay?”

“Oh. Yeah. Okay.” She hung up.

“Paige,” Leslie said from the backseat. “You haven’t been listening to me.”

“Huh?” Paige laid her phone in her lap, clearing the cobwebs out of her head. “Yeah. Sorry. A lot on my mind.”

“Like that epic win we just had?” Leslie’s voice was nearly ear-piercing in tone with excitement.

Paige released a chuckle. A windfall of relief pulsed through her bones, making her feel light enough to float. “Yeah.” Excitement. Did she dare feel it? Did she allow herself one small moment? It bubbled up like an awkward child.
