Chapter 13

Aidan stirred from sleep and opened his eyes. Judging by the light that filtered around the sides of the heavy curtain in the bedroom of Maricar’s guest house, he’d say it was around eight in the morning.

Felicity was still in deep slumber. Not surprising as they’d had a very late night. Even he could do with an extra hour or two of sleep, but he had to empty his bladder—and drink some water to quench his thirst.

He went to the bathroom, then headed to the kitchen. Oops, they’d forgotten to draw the curtains in the living room, and he was naked. He squinted. Was that Maricar reading a book by the poolside?

He padded back to the bedroom to put on some clothes. He hadn’t had time alone yet with Maricar this weekend, although he was sure she didn’t mind in the slightest. Maricar had been thoroughly enjoying Felicity’s presence in her home and had sought his girlfriend’s company more than his. It was perfect.

He walked out to join his childhood guardian. “Hey, Mar.”

“Hello, dear. Where’s Fel?”

“Still in bed. You look bright and fresh this morning.” He sat on the daybed next to Maricar.

“It’s a beautiful day. And it’s because I’m so glad that you’re happy,” Maricar added softly.

“I am,” he said with a grin. “I have so much to thank you for. If you hadn’t planted the thought in my head—and given me your blessing—I wouldn’t be sitting here right now as an inactive IR.”

“Oh, I’m sure the idea would have occurred to you at some point. I just put it out there earlier.” Maricar smiled. “Felicity is lovely. She’s great for you.”

He nodded. “I think so, too.”

“How’s the Kingsgrove place? When are you going to move some of your stuff there?”

“I’ve asked Kallan and Isla for a hand. They took some of my clothes and other personal items there last night. I just hope I remember where they’ve put everything. Thankfully, they sent me pictures.”

Maricar chuckled. “Just be very mindful. That’s still a safe house, so you might have other agents having to stay there with you if cases call for it. You wouldn’t want to be shooing Felicity out the door if those times come.”

“I know. I’ll be moving into my Burwood apartment soon. It’s closest to Fel’s. But the current tenants have requested they be given two months to vacate, which I’ve agreed to.”

“Well, I hope you’re prepared with a good story to explain why you’re not living in one of your properties right now.”

Aidan winced. “I’ve already indicated to her that the Kingsgrove house is my property, too. Then, I can pretend that someone wants to buy it from me off-market. The timing should work if the supposed offer comes next week.”

“It sounds plausible,” Maricar said with a sigh. “I’m sorry that you have to keep lying to Fel. You shouldn’t have to do it again, hopefully.”

“I know. I really, really want to make it work with her, Mar.”

Maricar beamed. “You’re already in love, aren’t you?”

He laughed.
