“Would it make me a bad person to hate a blue butterfly?” I ask no one in particular as Noah, Evie, and Carlotta sit at the counter here at the Cutie Pie Bakery and Cakery. The late afternoon crowd did a disappearing act, along with just about all of my blueberry muffins.

“Only if you try to shoot it,” Noah points out while dotting his finger over Lyla Nell’s nose, and she breaks out into a dainty little laugh that makes Evie giggle as well. Come to think of it, Evie has been staring moony-eyed and giggling at everything ever since she walked in.

I shake my head. “I can’t believe my new house is just going to sit there like a skeleton of what it should be just because a butterfly flew past it.”

“Like it or not, they’re the official occupants.” Suze shrugs. “I’m a part of the butterfly preservation society, you know. And well, we all voted that your home should sit uninterrupted the way it is until the Honey Hollow Blue Butterfly can replenish.”

I suck in a quick breath. “Suze! You’re a part of the preservation society? You can stop the carnage. Don’t you want Everett and me sharing a big, beautiful house together and populating the planet with adorable little Baxters? You don’t want me unhappy in my rental, now do you? Everett’s working long hours, and I might be prone to wander to Noah for a shoulder to cry on. We all know where that can lead.” I tick my head toward Lyla Nell.

Suze tips her head back. “So help me heaven, to tell the truth, I did try to convince them otherwise, but they were too strong-minded about it.” Her upper lip twitches as she looks to Lyla Nell. “And now we’ll have an entire den of Foxes on our hands.” She takes off to help a trio of customers who just stepped up to the register.

“Evie, how did your driving lesson go with Bradford?” I ask as I refill her coffee.

“It was amazing,” she says, holding a chocolate chip cookie in the air and staring vacantly past me. “He’s taking me out again tonight at six. Driving, of course.” She smirks my way.

“Of course.” I slide a plate full of crullers between her and Noah.

“What about me, Lot? Don’t I deserve a cruller or two after pushing you out of my lions?” Carlotta pounds her hand over the counter and a spray of silver stars erupts in her wake.

Within seconds, Leo appears in all his Bengal glory.

“You’ve summoned me?” He startles as he takes in his surroundings. “Oh look, crullers.” He traipses over and begins to eat one right off the plate.

Lyla Nell screams and laughs so loud it has the power to pierce every eardrum in a ten-mile radius. She bops up and down in Noah’s arms until she snatches the celestial cat by the tail.

Leo lets out a rawr, and Lyla Nell laughs all the louder.

Evie giggles to herself again. “It’s that ghost
