Devin wasn’t sleeping either, but for a different reason. He was listening for sounds in the house, to see what Liam was up to. With the sound of a door closing loudly, he crept downstairs, rounded the corner prepared to do what he must when he found Liam and ran smack into Adria. “Whoops!” He grabbed her arms gently but firmly and held her so she wouldn’t fall while ignoring that excited sensation he felt being near her. “Are you okay?”

She smiled. “Yes! Thanks. I just had the worst scare of my life in the solarium.”

“What?” Devin let her go and headed for the solarium thinking that was where the evidence of Liam’s true self was hidden. I’d forgotten to check in there.

Flinging the door open he stormed inside to find an almost empty solarium except for a few boxes. Adria bumped into him again, sending a delightful shockwave of excitement through his body. “What is it? I see nothing.” He glanced sideways to confirm.

“Over there.” Adria pointed to the boxes.

Devin didn't have to be told twice. Like the stormtroopers he liked to watch as a kid, he made his way to the boxes and looked around. “Wow. Well, I have to say that’s the first time I’ve seen squirrels make a hole that big. And apparently they like cereal.” Devin laughed, relieved and annoyed at the same time. “I was kind of hoping to find some evidence of mischief or mayhem, so I could have an excuse to convince you both to throw Liam out in the cold.”

Adria’s eyes were as big as saucers. “Devin, come on, I need to show you something else.” He was forced to follow as Adria took his hand and pulled him back to the kitchen. They stood in front of the back door. “Brace yourself.”

“For what?”

Devin was speechless when Adria opened the door to reveal more snow than he’d ever seen. “I don’t think we’ve ever had this much snow, ever. Wow, we're going to be snowed in for a while.”

She quickly closed the door. Devin watched her walk, admiring how graceful she moved, and how lovely her hair seemed to float around her back as she headed for the sandwich she’d been eating on the counter. “I think I’m just going to crash on the couch now. It’s so late, I couldn’t sleep, anyway.”

Devin watched her settle in with a comfy pillow and some blankets while she finished her sandwich. “Well, I’m headed back to bed.” As he made his way up the stairs, he debated going back down and staying with her like he wanted to do, but thought better of it.

He walked the open hallway to his bedroom, forever mindful with his eyes innocently scanning the room to make sure she was safe. He paused for a moment at his bedroom door and leaned over the railing.

Adria must have sensed him because she lifted her face to his, a soft smile on her face as she chewed her sandwich. “Good night.
