“I thought you said we were going to visit someone,” Roz said, glancing over at her dad.

Zeke shrugged, and cut the engine on the car. “We are. Cross and Catherine.”

Roz’s gaze narrowed. “But why?”

“Because they’re my friends, and your godparents.”

“And because Ma told you to take me out of the house and do something with me?”

Probably her mother’s way of thinking she could get Roz’s mind off Naz. That was highly unlikely given this was his parents’ home and all.

“No, that wasn’t what she said at all. I promise you that, Roz.”

Zeke didn’t offer anything more before he got out of the car, and slammed the door. Bending down, he looked in and pointed at her door as if to silently say, Let’s go.

She got out of the car, and raced after her father to catch up with him. He didn’t even bother to ring the doorbell before he opened the door, and walked right into the large Donati home. Echoing laughter came from down the hall before Catherine darted between the living room, into the hallway, and then disappeared into the kitchen. Her husband was fast on her heels.

“Get back here, Catty!”

“No way. I am keeping that picture forever.”

“Jesus Christ, woman—”

“Save the foreplay for when the guests are gone, yeah?” Zeke shouted.

Cross was the first one to come back out from the kitchen by poking his head into the hallway first. The dark-eyed man narrowed his gaze on Roz’s father. “Don’t you know how to fucking knock, or what?”

“You don’t knock at my house.”

“That’s fair,” Cross murmured with a shrug. Then, his gaze drifted to Roz. “And you brought Roz along. Did I forget something, or—”

“Someone is missing someone else, actually,” her father said vaguely.

Cross’s brow shot up as his gaze turned on her again. Roz felt the way her cheeks heated up, but she settled for glaring at her father. Zeke acted like nothing was wrong.

“Figured she could use some company, and then maybe she’ll, you know, get out of her mood,” Zeke said.

“Stop it,” Roz muttered under her breath.

Cross chuckled. “Roz, Catherine is in the kitchen finishing up some tarts, if you want one.”

Roz’s face was as red as a goddamn tomato. She was sure of it. Nonetheless, she was still grateful for the chance to escape the situation, so she nodded, and mumbled a quick thanks before darting ahead of her father.

Once she was in the kitchen, that didn’t stop the voices from filtering in from the hallway even as they tried to keep quiet. Catherine shot Roz a sly grin that said she knew the girl was spying but didn’t give a single shit either way. The woman was good like that.

“I take it he didn’t tell her,” Zeke said. “Don’t you think maybe he should have?”

“It’s Naz’s business when and how he wants to deal with his business but especially when it comes to Rosalynn, Zeke. Let him tell her why he goes off like this on his own time, and when he’s ready to.
