MEGHAN

I was beginning to nod off when Cade leaned down and whispered in my ear, “Ready for bed?”

Jerking back awake, I blinked blearily at the TV screen. When Bradley and Logan had finally followed my other brothers to bed, Dad had switched on one of those murder mystery documentaries that aired once a week. It had been pretty interesting, but it was hard to focus when I had Cade as my very own warm, comfy pillow.

“Huh?” I managed, rubbing at my eyes.

Cade smiled and repeated his question. Oh, right. Bed. We had to go back to Eile tomorrow. I sighed. So soon. I hadn’t had enough time with my family, but the wedding was a month and a half away.

I smiled, happy to see her behaving just as she always had before learning what I was. It brought me some comfort, knowing that although my world had turned on its head, some things never changed.

I slipped onto one of the stools tucked under the ledge of the kitchen island and propped my elbow up on the counter, watching her with a faint smile on my face.

Her hair was slightly messy from sleep, and she had a towel draped over her shoulder. As she turned to deposit some bacon onto a pad of waiting napkins, she caught me studying her. She froze and lifted one eyebrow.

“What?” she asked cautiously.

I shrugged. “Nothing. It’s just good to see you, Mom.”
