FOURTEEN

J ared woke up to the sound of voices the next morning. He figured it was Zander and Harper doing their regular ritual and discarded it as he tried to drift back off, but a rumble of thunder jerked him back to reality.

“Wait a second.”

Jared rolled to his side and found Harper sitting with her back propped up against the pillows. Her cell phone was on top of her bent knees and she was Skyping with Zander.

“You have got to be kidding me,” Jared grumbled. “Even when we’re on vacation he ends up in bed with us.”

“We’re talking about serious business things,” Harper said. “I’m sorry, but he needed a few answers and I promised I would be available to help him if things popped up. You heard us say we were going to Skype every morning. I didn’t think it would be a problem.”

“No, I’m sorry,” Jared offered, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “I didn’t realize it was business.”

“Well, it is,” Harper said. “Go on, Zander.”

“So, anyway, I call Eric to tell him not to bother coming in to work today because of the weather and … well … we have no clients, which is a whole other issue, and I swear I heard a woman in the background,” Zander said. “She called his name and said that breakfast was ready.”

“Maybe it was his mother.”

“Mothers don’t giggle like that when they’re with their sons,” Zander replied. “It’s unnatural … and potentially gross and illegal.”

“How is this about work?” Jared asked.

“Eric is my employee,” Harper replied, unruffled. “That makes it about work.”

“I don’t ever want to hear you say that you don’t gossip again,” Jared chided shifting so he could prop himself up next to Harper and get a gander at Zander through the tiny screen. He wanted to laugh because Zander was in his pajamas and still in bed. In a way, it was like they all really were in bed together. “Harper claimed she doesn’t gossip last night. How do you feel about that?”

Zander snorted. “If we didn’t gossip, we’d have absolutely nothing to talk about except for your nipples and my good looks.”

“I told you,” Jared said, his eyes flashing as he ignored the dig about his nipples. “How are things in Whisper Cove? Is Mel holding up the fort without me?”

“Uncle Mel is fine,” Zander answered. “He misses your handsome face, but when I told him about your abnormally large nipples he got uncomfortable and hung up. You’ve got that reaction to look forward to when you get back, Jared.”

“I can’t wait,” Jared deadpanned, glancing at the window. “It’s really coming down out there again. When I heard you guys talking I assumed it was another morning in Harper’s bed because I was confused, and then I heard the storm and remembered where I was.”

“We actually do have a legitimate reason to talk,” Harper said.

“Yes, Harper misses me and can’t live without me,” Zander said. “You need to remember that.”

“I’m well aware of that,” Jared said.
