No sooner do Noah and Everett come back inside than Noah gets a text.

“It’s forensics.” He grimaces. “There’s been a break in the case. I need to head down to Ashford for a bit.” He drops a kiss to Lyla Nell before sailing back out the door.

Everett stretches. “I’m going to hit the shower then fall into bed.”

“I won’t be long behind you,” I say as he sinks a kiss to my lips before saying goodnight to Evie and Carlotta and heading off.

“All right, Lot.” Carlotta makes big eyes at me while taking the baby from me and handing her to Evie. “It’s time for us to take that night walk Pretty Boy requested.”

I happened to know that Pretty Boy is still in the kitchen finishing off the shrimp lo mein.

“Again?” Evie laughs. “Carlotta, you’ve been walking him every night this week. Last night he had you out until three in the morning.”

It’s true. For whatever reason, Pretty Boy can get Carlotta to do just about anything. Another reason to petition to have him as a permanent resident of this household.

“What can I say? Some pets are bossier than others, just like people.” Her eyes expand my way once again. “Watch Little Yippy for us, Evie Stevie. Lot Lot’s gotta come with me. The fresh air will do her good, and she might walk off some of those calories she packed away during dinner.”

“She’s right,” Evie says, getting off the sofa and taking Lyla Nell down the hall with her. “I’ll hang out in the nursery. I need to talk to Dash anyway.”

Carlotta starts tapping into her phone like a madwoman and it pings in her hand.

“Looks like Cha Cha’s shift ended early and she’s already in the neighborhood. Grab the keys to Foxy’s place. We’re gonna see what he’s hiding from you in that briefcase of his.”

“The briefcase that he says he doesn’t have.” I shake my head as I bolt to the kitchen and pull out all of the keys Noah has given me and both Carlotta and I trot across the street. We’re about to crest Noah’s lawn when Charlie pulls up and runs our way.

“Don’t you dare start the party without me.” Her hair is teased, her eyes are heavily drawn in with black kohl, and her lips are painted ruby red. “All right, let us in. I gotta pee. It always hits me just as I’m driving by your neighborhood.”

Carlotta clucks her tongue. “That’s because every time you drive by, you stop to tinkle on Lot’s front lawn.”

“She does not.” I shoot Charlie a look that suggests denial is her only safe answer.

“Just at night,” she smarts.

“Why do I believe it?” I mutter as I pull the key out, and soon we’re inside of Noah’s home. I flick on the lights and seal the door shut behind us. His cabin is quaint, lots of dark masculine furniture, and with all the woodsy walls and floors it indeed feels like a cabin that belongs at a ski resort.
