I ask Mayor Nash to drop us off at Lainey’s house and he does just that. I didn’t dare speak about the true nature of our chosen locale because I’d hate for there to be any political blowback for him.

He’s been the mayor of Honey Hollow for as long as I can remember and I’d hate for some goofy misstep of mine to cause his career any harm. And with me around, it’s a very real possibility—just ask Noah or Everett. Noah has only been reinstated for a month, and Everett, well, he hasn’t seen the inside of his chambers since late December. And, boy, how I miss the inside of his chambers.

Hey? I bet if I can have my mother watch Lyla Nell now and again, I can hand deliver some sweet treats to Everett’s private chambers when he gets back to work. The future looks delicious indeed.

Lyla Nell. I whimper just thinking about her. I can’t stand being away from her. And every time we’re separated, I’m merely counting down the minutes until we’re reunited.

My chest starts to tingle, and just like that, my blouse is instantly soaked.

I gasp as I look down at the horror.

“Oh great. I just sprang a leak,” I whisper, quickly working off the pricey silk blouse that must have set Noah back a fortune.

It’s dark on Maple Leaf Drive. The streetlamp down the street is so dim, it’s pretty much worthless. The night air is warm and scented with honeysuckle and fresh cut lawns. I arranged for Charlie, Carlotta, and me to leave our purses in the back of Mayor Nash’s car so that they wouldn’t encumber us. And let’s face it, that decreases the odds of Carlotta and Charlie sprinkling the contents of their purses all over the place like a trail of incriminating breadcrumbs.

“You sprang a what?” Charlie wrinkles her nose at me. “Carlotta, why is she stripping?” She shifts her gaze back my way and her eyes glow just the way mine do in dim lighting. “Did you tinkle? Good grief. You could have squatted in a bush instead of going in your pants. And by the way, you took off the wrong piece of clothing. Don’t tell me you don’t know how that works either.”

I shoot both her and Carlotta a look. “No, I didn’t tinkle,” I grouse at Charlie. “And now if you’ll both excuse me, I see a sprinkler running. I need to rinse this blouse off before it’s ruined.” I bend over at the foot of Lainey’s lawn and do just that.

“Laundry, Lot? Really?” Carlotta scoffs. “What is this? Amateur hour?” Carlotta scoffs as she pulls both Charlie and me away from Lainey’s house. “You know your sister has a couple of stethoscopes for ears.”

“You’re right,” I whisper. “She has eyes like a hawk as well. And with baby Josie still keeping her up at night, the odds are good she’s peering out the window at us right this very minute. Leave it to my leaky boobs to give us away.
