CHAPTER 10

Mia

I SLIP ON my Toms, grab one of my thin, oversized sweaters from my closet, and head down the stairs. Talon called an hour ago to let me know he’d be home by four and that I could meet him there any time after that. I should play it cool and wait until at least 4:30 to leave, but I’ve been pacing for forty-five minutes and know I won’t be able to make it that long. When I reach the kitchen, I find Cece sitting at the island on her laptop looking at real estate, the same thing she was doing when I got home early this afternoon.

“Any luck?” I ask, nodding at the listing she has open.

“I’ve found a couple places that might have potential. I’m just not sure I can afford a four bedroom right now,” she says as I squat down to give my girls some love when they circle my feet.

“I’m sure Lola and Kate will be okay sharing a room. Why not look for a three bedroom?”

“What about you?” she asks, sounding nervous, and I stop what I’m doing to really focus on her.

“Even if you guys end up staying in this house, I’m going to eventually want my own place. I love you, but please don’t worry about me while you’re making this decision.”

“Are you sure? I mean, you came here because—”

“Because I love you and my nieces,” I cut her off. “I don’t regret moving here.”

“Okay,” she says quietly.

“When Mom and Chaz get here, maybe they can keep an eye on the girls one day, and you and I can go check them out.”

“I’d appreciate that,” she agrees, looking relieved, and I stand. “Are you heading out now?”

“Yeah, Talon said he’d be home at four,” I tell her, and she looks at the clock then returns her gaze to mine, raising a brow after seeing it’s still thirty minutes before he will even be home. “Don’t even start.”

“I didn’t say anything.” She smirks then asks, “Are you staying the night with him again tonight?”

“No, I’ll be home.”

“Don’t feel like you have to come home. I planned on taking the girls to school in the morning tomorrow.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” I roll my eyes. “What are you going to do until the girls get home?”

“Laundry, and I might order Thai for dinner. Besides that, I’m going to catch up on schoolwork so I won’t feel overwhelmed this week.”

“Fun.”

“So much fun.” She laughs, and I smile then look at the clock to check the time. “Wow, you’ve really got it bad.”

“I know.” I don’t even try to lie.

“Go see your guy. If I don’t see you tonight, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She gets up and walks with me toward the door, and I stop to give my girls some more love.

“If you need me, my cell will be on.”

“We’ll be fine without you.” She opens the door, and as I step out onto the front porch, a large truck that looks somewhat familiar pulls up to park behind Cece’s minivan.
