COOPER closed the door to Sammy’s room, the juice glass in his other hand.

“I thought you would have stayed again,” Tino said softly, coming up the stairs in time to catch him.

“Felicity is going to need a hug good night,” Cooper said. Then, remembering Sammy’s honesty, he added, “And I need another pain pill. I skipped the time for my last one.”

Tino blew out a breath. “And it was a long goddamned day.”

Cooper nodded soberly. “I can’t argue.” He paused for a moment and remembered how helpless he’d felt when Felicity had called him—and how housebound. “Uh, Tino? Is there any way… I mean, I know you’ve all hinted that I’d be taking the kids to school and back and taking care of them after, and I can totally do that, but I think Brandon still has my car.” It wasn’t much of a car—a 1998 Chevy Impala that had been making a mysterious knocking noise since he’d bought it four years ago.

Tino half laughed. “Oh God. Yes. I’m sorry. We can definitely get your car back from Brandon for you. We didn’t mean to glue you to the house. You were just, you know—”

“Hurt. But my ribs are almost healed, and my collarbone is good with a brace. My concussion clock runs out tomorrow. Tonight should be my last pain pill. And Sammy starts his job next week. I’m actually going to, you know, earn my keep.”

Tino grimaced. “Don’t be too excited about that. I’ve done your job before—both paid and under the heading of parenthood. It’s a lot of work.”

Cooper bit his lip. “Honestly? I’d… I’d really like to focus on the kids. Felicity, of course, but….” He couldn’t help the smile as he remembered the chatter between Keenan and Letty and the way his girl just blended in with them and made herself a part of their dynamic. “But the kids. I’m looking forward to it. I just sort of need, you know, an orientation.”

“Of course.” Tino moved up to the landing and squeezed his good shoulder—gently. “Sammy doesn’t have classes on Friday. I’ll have him show you around. And tomorrow, if you remind me, I’ll show you where we keep the keys.” He hesitated. “I, uh, understand your car has some, uh, problems. You’ll need to drive the big family Odyssey. It’s not sexy, but it has a great stereo system and the Bluetooth thing, which is handy. You good with that?”

“Perfect.” Oh yes—it couldn’t have been more perfect. Sammy had promised he was taking care of himself. It was time to see that in action.
