Death wiped his mouth with the napkin and sat back. “That was exceptional.”

“Well, there’s more where that came from because I looked after Jazzy on my own most of the time, and we ate a lot of bland food, cheap and easy, so when we went to stay with our aunts in Roxburgh, I asked Else to teach me to cook. We spent a lot of time in the school holidays cooking for the family. I loved it, which is another reason I love a big garden.”

“Where is your mother now?” Death asked, and there was a coldness to his voice that had me straightening in my seat.

“Last I heard, she was in Paris, but she could have moved on by now,” I said. “It’s fine. She does her thing, and we do ours.”

“She abandoned you when you were children,” he said, his voice deepening.

“She was around when we were young, just not when I was old enough to be responsible for Jazzy. She does love us, but having kids just wasn’t her thing.”

His gaze slid to the stairs and up, to where Somnus slumbered.

“Don’t even think about it.”

“About what?” he asked, all innocence.

“About sleeping in your brother’s room tonight and paying my mother a visit in her dreams.”

His jaw tightened. “I just want to talk to her.”

“No,” I said, “you will not.”

He shrugged. “Fine, if you’re so against it.”

“I am.”

He inclined his head.

“So how about dessert?”

His gaze darkened. “I know what I’d like for dessert.”

My body heated instantly. “Well, you can hold that thought, because first we’re having chocolate mousse.”

“Sounds almost as delicious as what I had in mind—”

The door from the kitchens opened, and Egon rushed out. “Excuse me, my lord, but I must speak with you.”

Death stood. “What is it?”

“Something that requires your immediate attention,” Egon said, giving him a look.

“I’ll be back as soon as I can. Stay here,” Death said to me and rushed from the room.
