As soon as the door opened at Ember and Trace’s, we were greeted to a wall of noise. Everyone else seemed to already be there. Rafe was just beside me, two cake holders in one hand, and Loki’s leash in the other.

“You made it!” Ember reached for the cakes from Rafe. “And you brought lots of dessert. Leftovers!”

I felt Rafe’s hand on the small of my back, his touch light and yet it burned clear down to my bones. Stepping into the apartment, I took a moment to just observe. Lucien was across the room, Darcy pressed up against his side, her hand being held in his and on his shoulders was Emily, who was pulling on her daddy’s hair and squealing in delight. Two older men were talking with Lucien; both obviously were related to Ember. Another woman, also older, stood with a tall, dark-haired man. She had to be Trace’s mom because they had the same eyes. And with them was another woman about Ember and Darcy’s age, but with how she gestured and moved she seemed younger than she looked. There were two guys, teenagers, one looked just like Lucien and the other looked remarkably like Trace. Kyle was there, talking to Tara, the bartender from Allegro. And on the sofa was a nun; I knew this because she was dressed in a habit. But what had me unable to pull my focus from her was that she looked to be about 120 years old. She must have sensed my stare because her head twisted, and very sharp and alert eyes settled on me. I’d been staring, it was rude, so I waved. She didn’t return it.

“Okay, going around the room. You know Lucien, Darcy and Emily. They’re talking to my dad, Shawn, the man on the right, and my uncle Josh. Kyle and Tara, whom you’ve met, the tall man there is Vincent Gowan and he’s married to Trace’s mom, Victoria. And the woman with them is Chelsea, Trace’s sister. She’s a few years older than me, but she was in an accident when she was younger and suffered some brain trauma. Those two clowns are Brandon and Seth. Brandon is Lucien and Darcy’s son and Seth is Trace’s cousin in a convoluted way. And the woman on the sofa is Sister Margaret. She played a pretty big role in getting Lucien and Darcy reunited with their son.”

“Sounds like a story there.”

“Yeah, there is. Let’s put these in the kitchen.” She looked passed me to Rafe. “We’ll be right back. You want a beer?”

“Yeah, thanks Ember.”

Their kitchen was fantastic. All Clad pots and pans hanging from the pot rack, a subzero refrigerator, soapstone countertops and plenty of room for multiple people to work and not bang elbows. “Oh my God, I’d sleep in this kitchen.”

Ember glanced around the room, someone obviously not a cook enthusiast. A suspicion confirmed when she said, “This is Trace’s domain.”

“I like it.”

“So you arrived with Rafe.” She bumped her shoulder into mine just as Darcy appeared.
