Greg

I took a deep breath and parked my rental in the driveway. The wicked witch of Twin Peaks was in for a big-ass surprise. She thought her lovely son was coming to the rescue. Quin had better make it up to me. I normally hated doing favors for other people, but Quin was the exception to my rule. I would jump through fire hoops to get to him. Louisa insulted me on so many fucking levels; then she had the audacity to accept our royal invitation to Lockridge Palace. She was such a hypocrite. I walked up to the front porch and pushed the door open. Quin asked her to leave it unlocked for him. How cool would it be if I wore a terrifying mask and ambushed the annoying woman? I smiled to myself and went upstairs. There she was, wrestling with her silk blouse. She gasped in pure horror when she saw me.

“Boo!”

“Jesus Christ. You scared me. What the heck are you doing here?”

“Relax. I come in peace,” I said. She gave me the side-eye while trying to cover herself up. “Quin has an important meeting at work, so he sent me, your son-in-law, to take care of your arm situation.”

She rewarded me with one of her trademark dirty looks. “I see.” She winced.

Her left arm was bruised and swollen. She definitely needed a hospital. “Do you need some help with that?” I pointed to the floral blouse. The one that was currently hanging from her neck.

“Can’t you just look the other way,” she said.

“Lady, I have zero interest in your lady parts.” I chuckled.

She huffed. “I forgot.”

“Come on. You have nothing to hide.” I carefully approached the stubborn woman. “I’m interested in Quin, not you. Cougars are not really my area of expertise. You might want to watch out for Prince Orion when you visit Raplen though. He definitely has a thing for older women,” I babbled.

Shit. What the fuck was I saying?

Once her blouse was firmly in place, she turned around and started throwing shit into her ridiculously large handbag. Old women sure loved their Tic Tacs and their tiny sewing kits.

“Funny you should mention that.”

“What? The cougar part?”

“No,” she said. “Your horrible track record when it comes to my son makes me question your marriage to him. How interested are you this time? Hmm? When you were younger, you treated Quin like a revolving door. You repeatedly broke his heart. You were in and out of his life like this,” she added with a snap of her fingers of her good arm. “This is the reason why I don’t like you, Greg. You’ve done enough damage as is. I just want my son to be happy.”

I sank down on the armchair next to her bed, speechless and confused.

“Yes! Wake up and smell the coffee, your royal highness. Quin has been in love with you for almost a decade now. None of us were fooled by his marriage to Wendy. Don’t get me wrong, I was glad that he chose a wife of his own to marry.
