With Chase and his parents on guard, I enjoyed a full day of work without interruption. To my delight, the cat wanted to cuddle while I navigated the murky waters of corporate reporting. He kept me warm, sported a perpetual purring motor, and hissed whenever Chase edged in on his turf.

Add in a breakfast and lunch of fried chicken, and I could get used to life as an inconvenienced lounge lizard. Gavin’s curse could kiss my ass. Who needed to blend in when I could have fun, get my work done, and keep company with a cool cat?

Since being good hadn’t gotten me anywhere, I’d have to try something new. But what?

I’d spent so long trying to be a good mother I wasn’t sure how to go about changing my colors and having fun despite Gavin’s curse. Silently laughing whenever Chase was thwarted by a three-legged cat counted, I hoped. Sometime after I lost count of Chase versus Cat incidents, I crawled across the desk, borrowed Chase’s computer, and notified him he should name the cat Goliath. As Chase’s name wasn’t David, he’d be stuck losing to the cat. And, as I was working hard on earning coal for Christmas, I told Chase he wouldn’t make a very good David in general.

I returned to my computer to finish working, hoping to find the solution to Chase’s mystery sooner than later.

“That isn’t fair,” Chase complained. “I buy you chicken. Goliath doesn’t.”

The newly dubbed Goliath returned to his nap while I prepared a list of companies likely involved in the effort to siphon an extra ten percent out of Chase, a relatively easy task when I compared current financial data with historic performance and isolated dives in the figures.

It took me most of the day to determine when the scheme had begun, but I emerged the victor.

Satisfied with my effort, I emailed Chase the list and thumped his desk to get his attention.

“She’s pretty demanding, isn’t she?” Chase’s mother asked from her post as a couch warmer. Chase’s father snored from his side of the couch.

“She’s not being demanding. She’s telling me there’s something that needs my attention.” I suspected Chase had some form of telepathy as he checked his email without me needing to go to his computer and tell him to. “She’s made a list of companies likely involved, and I can link most of them to one parent company. This simplifies things a lot—and gives me a good way to put a permanent end to this. Wake Dad and guard the hallway for a few minutes, please.”

“And what about Miriah?”

“Miriah stays with me, of course.”

On a scale of one to ten, Chase was approaching twelve on the dominant alpha male controlling chart. I missed having eyebrows, as I wanted to raise one at his statement.

Obviously, I needed to take lessons on being naughty from Chase, and I’d sign up for clothing-free sessions if he insisted on displaying protective tendencies.

As long as he kept his protective tendencies reasonable.

Keeping me close and safe counted.
