Chapter Eighteen

Calli comes back after checking on the puppies and informs me the furry lassies are barking at a squirrel in a tree. The squirrel fled, so now the puppies are quiet again. Not that they stay quiet for long. Misty and Mandy have more energy than any dogs I've met before. Sometimes I could use an injection of their energy.

The lustful American I slept with last night seems determined to exhaust me with her sexual appetites. Aye, it's a tough job, but I can handle it.

While Calli goes into the bathroom to take a shower, I settle onto the sofa to watch the puppies playing out in the yard. They have a stick, and they take turns trying to get the thing away from each other. That entertains me for a few minutes, then I decide to turn on the television and find something to watch. I try three different home improvement shows, but all the people on those shows do bloody stupid things. I guess a contractor shouldn't watch that rubbish. I'm not normally a couch potato, but I can't think of anything else to do until Calli comes out of the bathroom.

My mobile rings, and I see a familiar name on the caller ID. Lachlan is ringing me, right on schedule. I put him on speaker.

"Aidan, what trouble have you gotten into now?" he asks in his annoying big-brother voice, the one that always makes me feel like a wee laddie who got caught doing something naughty. "I had to hear it from Jamie that you've got a girl. When's the wedding, Don Juan?"

"Donnae be calling me that. And there's no wedding." Not yet, but I won't say that to Lachlan.

"If you promise never to call me that nickname again, I won't call you Don Juan."

"Sorry, that's a promise I can't keep. It's too much fun calling you Lachie."

"You and Jamie love tormenting the adults in the family."

His mention of our sister turns our conversation to the subject he'd wanted to discuss today—Jamie's barmy plan to find an American man. Lachlan points out that I had a similar plan to find a wife, but I reject the comparison. It's different when the person with the barmy idea is my baby sister. And aye, that makes me a hypocritical erse. Donnae care.

Lachlan pauses in the middle of our Jamie conversation, and he gets a serious tone in his voice when he speaks again. "How are you, Aidan, really?"

"Fine. I'm having a bloody fantastic holiday in Michigan."

"Glad to hear it. But your problems won't disappear because you had a good time. Your company is—"

"I know what's going on with my own company. Donnae need you to tell me about it." Is that me sounding grumpy? Bod a' chac. I'm turning into Rory. "Sorry, Lachie, but I don't want to think about that right now."

"You can't ignore it for much longer." Lachlan sighs in the exasperated way he loves to do whenever he talks to any of his siblings. "Let me help.
