* * *

The knock on the door must be our food. Teagan rises, but I hold up a hand.

“Sit. Relax. I’ll get it.”

She settles back against the couch cushion with her drink in hand, and I cross the length of the floor. Lee stands on the other side and hands me the bag from my favorite restaurant. I take it with a nod of thanks and then bring it over to Teagan.

“Is that from Davy Byrne’s?”

I blink. “Yes. How can you tell?”

“Because I would know that takeaway bag from anywhere. It’s one of my favorite restaurants.”

That makes me raise my eyebrows. “Mine, too.”

Excited energy vibrates off Teagan. It’s actually pretty sexy. I take my seat next to her and bring out the first container and the plastic utensils that came with it. “I hope you like corned beef and colcannon.”

She practically snatches it from my hand and moans in a way that makes my cock stand at attention. It’s the kind of moan a woman makes during really good sex. “You talked to Imogen, didn’t you?”

My forehead wrinkles. Why would she think that? “Not since last night. Why?”

Teagan holds the container up to her nose and breathes deeply. “Because this is the only thing I ever order from there. It can’t be a coincidence that you just happened to not only from my favorite restaurant, but also my absolute favorite entree.”

I palm my chest with a short laugh. “I swear I absolutely have not talked to Imogen since last night.”

She narrows her gaze like she doesn’t believe me. Finally, Teagan huffs out a laugh.

“This is just too weird.”

“We both have good taste, I guess.” I know I do anyway.

As we eat, there’s a comfortable silence. Possibly our first since we met. It’s either been awkward or sexually charged. This, though, it’s relaxed. Like we’re old friends who don’t feel like they have to fill it with inane conversation. It’s a novelty, actually. I’m not sure I’ve ever sat comfortably with a woman I wasn’t related to. Definitely not one I have an intense interest in.

“So is Shah your mother or Da’s name?”

Teagan covers her mouth and finishes chewing. “My mādar’s. I didn’t know my pedar.”

“I’m sorry.”

She shakes her head. “Don’t be. I’m not. She and I always had each other and I never felt like I was missing out on anything by not knowing him.”

I lean back. “There are times I wish I hadn’t known my mother. She wasn’t a kind person. Then again, I’m sure you’ve heard what she tried to do to Nora and Imogen.”

For a second, anger flashes across Teagan’s face. “Yes, Imogen told me. I don’t like to speak unkindly about the dead, but she sounds like a horrible person. Which I shouldn’t say, since she was your mother after all.”

“It’s my turn to say don’t be. I have no illusions as to who my mother was.” I pause. Did she have any good qualities? It’s been so long since she’s been gone, I’m not sure if any I might remember are fact or wishful thinking.
