Aunt Maxine opened Noah’s door with an arched brow. “Oh, look who it is.”

Petunia didn’t know if she was talking to her or Noah, who was lingering near the door, coat in hand.

Petunia elected not to rise to her aunt’s bait. “Are you ready, Noah?” she asked.

“Where are you two going in such a hurry?” Aunt Maxine asked.

“Noah and I are going to the bakery.”

“For what, precisely?”

“What’s going on here?” Pansy said as he slinked over.

“I thought you could tell me.”

“Sorry, I’ve got nothing.”

“Since when is going to the bakery an odd occurrence?” Petunia asked Aunt Maxine.

Aunt Maxine’s eyes narrowed for a moment. “Are you ordering a wedding cake?”

“Wedding cake?” Noah asked.

“I don’t have a reason to order a wedding cake unless you found yourself a man, Aunt Maxine.”

“I don’t find that a bit funny, young lady.” Aunt Maxine frowned. “I came here to stop Petunia from making a horrible mistake.”

“Now it’s getting interesting,” Pansy smirked.

“Horrible mistake?” Petunia asked.

Aunt Maxine glanced at Noah. “My granddaughter won’t be staying here tonight. It’s quite inappropriate. I won’t allow her to make the same mistake I made.”

Petunia slumped to a chair. “It’s not like I was planning to warm his bed.”

“Unless you insist.” Noah grinned.

Aunt Maxine gasped. “There will be none of that if I have anything to say about it.”

“How did you know she was staying here tonight?” Noah asked as he shot Petunia a look.

“I might have let it slip.” Petunia sighed. “I told her I was sleeping in the spare bedroom.”

“You can stay home tonight after we find the e—, I mean the rodents.”

“You plan to help me?”

“I can help,” Noah said.

“No! I mean, my aunt and I can handle it, but after she tells me all about her past mistake.”

“It will have to wait for another time.”

Petunia felt bad for saying that. She was well aware her aunt had a baby when she was quite young and gave it up for adoption.

“If you want to make it to the bakery before it closes we’d better head out,” Noah said.

“I’ll stay here and cat-sit, and when you get back I’ll help Petunia,” Aunt Maxine said obviously not budging.

“I’d better stay here and supervise,” Pansy said as he curled up on the couch. “Merlin has to be watched at all times.”

Petunia frowned as she spotted Merlin fast asleep in the recliner. “I don’t think it has anything to do with Merlin and more to do with you taking a catnap.”

“Be gone with you, I say.”
