I sighed as I stood at the stove, scrambling up almost a dozen eggs. I had no idea how much Texas ate in the mornings, but I was pretty sure it was a lot. The bacon sat on top of some paper towels on a plate, and the steaming pancakes were on the table already. I reached over and turned on the pot of coffee, percolating it strong.

None of us had gotten to sleep last night until almost three in the morning.

I sighed when my phone rang out. I didn’t feel like picking it up, but I knew who it was. Since Texas was moving in and staying here, my brother had taken over the responsibility of tailing Jett.

Which meant he was calling with his two-hour update.

“Morning, Stone,” I said, yawning.

“Hey there, sis. How ya feelin’?” he asked.

“Exhausted.”

“I can only imagine. How’s Keva?”

“Still asleep, if you can believe it,” I said.

“I can. She woke up at one in the morning and was adamant on staying up until we were finished.”

“That’s what happens when you drop a box on your toe and scream out into a dark house.”

“That box was heavy as fuck.”

I giggled softly. “You know Texas cooks. You know he’s gonna have his own pots and pans he works with.”

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.”

“You really don’t like this, do you?” I asked.

“Forgive me if the last guy I passed you onto in this crew beat you to a bloodied pulp.”

“Fucking hell, Stone. Really? You couldn’t have phrased that a better way?”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Ella.”

I sighed as I pulled the finished eggs from the stove.

“So, what’s this update you’ve got for me?” I asked.

“Well, I’ve been tailing Jett ever since I left your place last night,” he said.

“I know. I woke up to several voice messages.”

“So far, he’s acting normal. He’s at work right now, but I’m planning on keeping an eye on him throughout the day.”

“Well, how about we make a rule that you call me if you think something’s going wrong,” I said.

“What? You don’t like talking to your big brother?” he asked.

“I love you, but no.”

The two of us laughed as I set the table for breakfast.

“You sound like you’re feeling better,” he said.

“Having Texas around last night made me feel a little better about things,” I said.

“He keeping his hands to himself?”

Unfortunately.

“Yes, Stone. Texas is keeping his hands to himself,” I said mockingly.

“Good. Because if he doesn’t, I’ll—”

“Focus on killing one man at a time, yeah?” I asked.

He snickered. “You know me too well. But there is another reason why I called.”

“Oh?”

“Yep. I’m sending over a different lawyer to help you file another request for a restraining order. I know all of our previous attempts have failed, but now that there are witnesses and video evidence of him confronting you at the grocery store—”

“We might stand a chance at getting one. Especially since my manager had to step in on my behalf.”

“Exactly. It’s worth a shot, and don’t worry about the bill. The guy owes me a favor anyway,” he said.
