I placed the wineglass in the rack as Mrs. Tolson bustled around behind me, putting dishes away while Jace dried them. The dishwasher hummed beside me, unable to keep up with the mountain produced by the night’s dinner production.

Mrs. Tolson must be Claremont’s Martha Stewart…and her husband was Claremont’s comedian.

He was in the lounge, entertaining the rest of Chaos with some loud story that had them all laughing.

I quietly chuckled, finding the noise jovial and highly contagious.

“Thank you so much for your help, you sweet thing.” Mrs. Tolson rubbed my arm the way my mom used to and suddenly it hurt to swallow.

Jace looked over her head and caught my eye, shooting me another wink that told me I was doing great.

My lips twitched with a grin and I dried my hands after emptying the sink water. “Thank you for an amazing meal.”

“That is my absolute pleasure.” Jace’s mother took the towel off me and then ushered us out of the kitchen.

As we walked into the living room, people were rising from their seats and getting ready to split. Disappointment seared through me. I didn’t care that it was close to eleven. I wasn’t ready to go back to my quiet, lonely apartment.

“You want to come back to the house?” Flick looked right at me as he pulled on his jacket.

“M-me?” I pointed to myself, kind of confused.

He smirked and shared a quick look with Jace. “Everyone else already lives there, so yeah, I’m talking to you.”

“The night is still young.” Nessa pumped her stump in the air. “Let’s go back and rock out for a while.”

“Really?” It was impossible to hide my giddy smile. I probably sounded like a girly groupie, but hello! Chaos was inviting me back to their place to rock out. And after the evening I’d just had, I wasn’t scared. It didn’t even occur to me that I’d been resisting it for so long. Suddenly I was on board. My heart was leading the charge, and I couldn’t do anything but follow it.

“Come on.” Jace laughed, placing his hand on my lower back and guiding me to the door.

Relaxing into his car, I let myself go, giving him an excited grin as he drove me around to the mansion.

As we pulled through the gates and drove around the palatial white house, I internally berated myself for ever saying no to his invitations. The place was amazing. It was private, secure, huge. There was plenty of room to ramble around inside unnoticed.

After a quick tour from Jace, I trailed down the path to a guest house. Music was already pumping out the door, and a smile was firmly in place as I slipped through and was pointed to sit down next to Fliss, Ronnie and an adorable-looking dog.

With a bark, the Labrador retriever scampered off the couch and came bounding over to me, his tail wagging a mile a minute.

“Maestro, down!” Fliss called as he rose on his hind legs and rested his paw against my stomach.
