Three hours later, we were riding the elevator to the penthouse for Bryce’s famous fish ‘n’ chip Saturday, and I couldn’t be happier.

“So what’s so good about his fish ‘n’ chips?” I asked.

“I dunno.” Tash shrugged. She was leaning against the fancy schmancy brass railing and mirrored panelling surrounding us, her foot tapping. “Alexis once mentioned that he makes the best tartare sauce, so maybe it’s that.” She gently clipped William over the head. “Stop blowing fish faces on the mirror. You’re leaving smudges.”

I smiled but gave Will my do-as-your-mother-says look when he glared at me.

He huffed and looked down at his feet. “Mum, are you sure Nate is gonna be home?”

“I think so. I’m pretty sure Rick was bringing him and Charlotte back today.”

“How’s Rick going, by the way?” I asked, interrupting them. “I haven’t seen him since Bryce and Alexis’s engagement party.”

“Yeah, good.” She gave me a weird smile and continued impatiently tapping her foot.

“You have to admit that he’s had a rough couple of years with Alexis leaving him.”

“Karma’s a bitch.” Her answer was curt and uninterested.

“You alright? You’ve been a bit anxious since we got here?”

“I’m fine. I just don’t like elevators.”

“Since when?”

“Since the one I was in last night got stuck.”

“Shit! Really? You didn’t tell me that.”

“I didn’t have time. And anyway, it’s fine, it wasn’t stuck for long.”

Thomas threaded his fingers through Tash’s. “Is this elevator gonna get stuck?”

“No!” She pulled him to her side and wrapped her arm around him. “And if it did, we’d be fine.”

He nodded, and then his eyes lit up. “Because Dale would save us, right?” There’s that fucking name again.

“He’d see us through the security cameras and he’d save us. Can he see us now?” Thomas jumped up and down and waved at the camera perched high in the corner of the cart. “Hi, Dale. It’s me, Cadet Thomas.”

“Stop that,” Tash hissed. “He’s not watching. He can’t see you.”

“How do you know? We watched you when you were in your office, remember? He can see everything.”

A feeling of uncertainty swept over me. He watched Tash when she was in her office? What the fuck? “You have a camera in your office?”

She shook her head and rolled her eyes, dismissively. “It’s outside my office. Security can see in when my door is open.”

“Isn’t that an invasion of your privacy?” I wasn’t sure I liked that this Dale dude could spy on my wife.

Tash tilted her head a little. “Well, no, it’s not. They have every right to monitor their employees.”

I shrugged; she had a point. “Fair enough.” It also got me thinking as to whether I had a camera in my office. I’d never even looked.

The elevator pulled to a stop on the forty-third floor of City Tower. We stepped out and made our way to the penthouse apartment, pushing the buzzer in the foyer and being greeted by Alexis when she opened the door.

“Hi, guys. Come on in.”

I couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated every time we visited Bryce and Lexi, because as you’d expect, the penthouse was dripping with money.
