Chapter 19 - When Two Wolves Get Together

Tamsin

Tamsin stretched in bed, relaxing before joining the rest of the pack for Sunday brunch. Next to her, Paige still slept. Her jobs as a lifeguard and independent journalist meant she could sleep later than a college instructor.

She leaned over and gave her fiancé a kiss. A warmth filled her with that word. I can’t believe she said ‘yes.’ I can’t believe the question was asked! Tamsin slapped her hands over her mouth before her laughter bubbled out. Every time she thought about the proposal and the upcoming wedding, a giddiness filled her.

Not wanting to wake Paige, she slipped from bed, and took a quick shower. She dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.

The scent of coffee drew her down the hall to the kitchen. She found Orin and Georgette discussing the morning meal.

“French toast?” Orin suggested.

Georgette sighed. “It takes so long to individually make all those slices. It’s early, why not bread pudding? Similar, but we can make several and let them bake all at once.”

It was Orin’s turn to sigh. “Are you going to take over the sweet bread then?”

“No, that’s your duty this week. I’m just trying to make your life easier.”

Tamsin poured herself a large mug of Orin’s special coffee blend. No one else could create his magical brew. She added a splash of milk and sighed. Heaven. “I’ll make the bread pudding, Orin, if you take over the bacon.”

He smiled. “Sounds good to me.”

She nodded. “Perfect. What other options will be on the table this week?”

Georgette smiled wide. The woman was always happy. “Fruit, oatmeal, bagels, scrambled eggs, and a cheese board.”

The three jumped in and started preparing their menu. As they cooked, others came in. Some helped, some watched, depending on their abilities in the kitchen. Tory and Paige sat at the table, drinking coffee and watching.

Paige rubbed her eyes. “I haven’t seen you since that fake date of yours. How did it go?”

Tamsin looked up from slicing fruit to watch Tory’s reaction. From what she could tell, no one had gotten her story. That was usually Georgette’s forte, but Tory’d been working.

After a sigh, and a long pull from her coffee, Tory gave a small smile. “It was okay. I’m still trying to figure it all out. Her parents don’t seem to have an issue with her being a lesbian, but Mildred still wants to pretend we’re dating.”

Paige shook her head. “Still? That wasn’t the end?”

Tory grumbled. “There’s this thing in a few weeks, an opening to the holiday season. I guess it’s always the first weekend in October.”

Tamsin’s brow rose. “Like the full weekend?”

Both women’s heads popped up to gaze at her. Tory nodded. “Yeah. It’s in wine country at a resort, I guess. They leave Friday and come back on Monday.”

From over by the stove, Orin snorted. “Can you take a full weekend off from work? Four days off? Is that even in your DNA?”

“You’re worried about her work?” Paige practically screeched. “She’s considering doing a full four days of fake dating!” She turned to Tory.
