“I think we got it,” Fletcher said, stepping back from where they’d just finished digging one of the swimming pools in the otter enclosure.

Mitch went to stand by him. “Looks good.”

“Griffin’s gonna wonder why it’s deeper.” Fletcher grinned.

“He’ll figure out that Tori overrode his plan in about two minutes,” Mitch said with his own grin.

“Well, Tori’s the one paying for it,” Fletcher said. “Or she’s the one who convinced Josh, Sawyer, Owen, Maddie, and Bennett to pay for it.”

The Boys of the Bayou owners were also the owners of Boys of the Bayou Gone Wild, so they were the ones ultimately buying the supplies and paying for Mitch, Fletcher, and Zeke’s time building the enclosure.

“I don’t think Tori has trouble convincing Josh of anything,” Zeke said, coming to join them on the slight hill that looked down on the first, and larger, of the two swimming pools for the otters.

No, she did not. But she didn’t have much trouble with the rest of them either.

It helped that Bennett was a millionaire, of course. And that Kennedy also loved the otters. And that Kennedy could also convince Bennett of nearly anything.

The sketches Griffin had done of the enclosure looked like an otter version of a water park. There were slides and ramps and various levels for the otters to climb on. Of course, they were all disguised as rocks and logs and trees and natural formations. The whole thing looked like a chunk of the river bank had been relocated a bit inland and their river—that even had a built-in current—connected two swimming pools.

Otters had never had it so good.

The whole thing was ridiculous.

And very cool.

“This is huge for just a few otters, isn’t it?” Zeke asked.

It was. “I have a suspicion Tori has some plans to expand the otter family size,” Mitch said.

Zeke grinned. “And maybe to more than otters.”

Mitch wouldn’t be surprised.

They discussed a few more of the plans, consulted the sketches, and did some measuring, deciding they could get part of the river dug out and a section of the bank reinforced before dinner.

Mitch, of course, wondered what Paige was doing. When he’d texted her, asking, she’d told him she was fine.

But he was a guy. Who’d heard “fine” from a number of women over the years. Grandmothers, cousins, girlfriends. “Fine” could mean a lot of things.

He’d pressed, and she’d said not to worry. He’d apologized for not being able to get away for lunch, and she’d said it was okay. He’d said he was looking forward to their date-night, and she’d said she was too.

Mitch blew out a breath thinking about it all, even now. Paige wasn’t a texter. He knew that. He’d spent six months frustrated about that. Why did he think that would change now that she was here?

He was far more frustrated that she was only about a mile away, and he still couldn’t see her and didn’t know what she was thinking or feeling.

He’d sensed she was a little nervous this morning about the new job and meeting his family, and… she’d had a right to be.
