“I think I should be Izzy’s backup.”

Aisling made the announcement as we were finishing our breakfast — and the suggestion didn’t go over well.

“Absolutely not!” Griffin vehemently shook his head. “No way.”

The Aisling I knew could show flashes of patience, but they were few and far between. Braden said she managed those flashes only after becoming a mother. Before that, she was an unruly pain. She looked to be reverting today.

“You’re not the boss of me,” Aisling warned, pinning her husband with a dark look. “I get to say who is the boss of me ... and it’s me.”

“And technically me,” Cormack argued. He held Lily, who was awake again and soaking in the potential squabble. She didn’t look concerned.

“Gah.” The baby made a funny noise and pointed at her mother.

“That’s right.” Aisling bobbed her head. “I’m the boss. You tell him, Lily.”

As if she understood what her mother wanted, Lily flicked her eyes to her grandfather and softened her voice. “Gah.”

“Ugh.” Cormack made a disgusted sound. “You are teaming up on me.”

“And you’re giving in,” Griffin raged. “It’s not going to happen. She’s not going back to that island. Not ever.”

I understood the root of his fear. Even though Aisling wouldn’t have been at the top of my preferred list of potential co-workers today, I felt the need to inject myself into the conversation. “The gate is working perfectly. It won’t glitch again.” I was almost positive that was true. “Even if it does, I know exactly what to do to get her back.”

Griffin’s eyes blazed when they turned on me. “No. I don’t want her by the gate. I ... just ... don’t want it.”

“Gah.” Lily leaned her head against her grandfather’s chest.

“Lily agrees,” Griffin said triumphantly. “She thinks it’s a bad idea.”

“Lily can’t even find her nose,” Aisling argued. “She just likes making noise.”

“She gets that from her mother,” Braden noted.

Aisling jabbed a finger at him. “Just wait until I teach her how to torture you. It’s going to be fun.”

Braden didn’t appear bothered. “I’m looking forward to it.”

“Stop bickering,” Cormack ordered in a low voice. “That won’t get us anywhere. I think it might be a good idea for Aisling to go with Izzy.” He cringed when he saw the accusatory look in Griffin’s eyes. “Son, don’t look at me that way.”

“Don’t send my wife into danger,” Griffin shot back.

“That’s part of the job.” Cormack adopted a reasonable tone. “She’s safer on the island with Izzy and Oliver than she is running around on her own collecting souls right now. These cult people are obviously watching us. They know who we are. I want to keep Aisling safe as much as you do.”

“Obviously not.” Griffin stubbornly jutted out his chin and stared at the ceiling. “I’m not okay with this. You can talk as much as you want, but ... no. I won’t allow it.”

Rather than trying to placate him, Aisling snorted. “You’re cute.” She patted his arm. “I’m sorry you’re upset. That’s not what I want.
