Chapter 3

“I’m Clary,” the housekeeper’s voice interrupted her daydreaming and she was glad for it.

No use going down that road anymore. Her mom was dead now and the money was gone. The end. Lacey would figure it out. She had no other choice. She turned her attention to the kind-looking woman.

“I’ve been keeping house for the Devlin family for a long time. Know these boys better than they know themselves, so if you have any problems you let me know and it’ll be burnt toast and runny eggs for a month!”

“Oh come on, Clary, you know we’d never mistreat a guest!” Taylor, the youngest Devlin, walked in with a familiar looking woman on his arm.

“Oh hush you! Good morning, Krissy. How do you put up with this mate of yours anyway?”

“Morning Clary! And he has his uses,” the woman beamed at him. Lacey noted with some bemusement that they seemed perfect together. The tall handsome blonde with his curly headed woman.

She laughed out loud when he wrapped his arms around Clary and dipped her back for a loud kiss on the cheek.

“Taylor! Put me back on my feet! Krissy, tell this man of yours, I’m gonna deck him if he drops me!”

“Taylor, stop!”

“I’m sorry Krissy, but I love this woman,” he kissed the older woman again and was rewarded with a slap to his head. Lacey had to bite back a grin at the whole scene while Daniel sat quietly.

“Don’t let him goad you, Clary. We just came by to drop off the nuts and dried fruit you had me order to the store,” Krissy said.

“Great! Set that stuff down over there. Oh, and you,” she addressed Lacey, “sit down now, dear, and tell me how you’d like your eggs.”

Clary’s kind eyes smiled at her and Lacey found herself responding. She’d been nervous at the amount of people who’d suddenly filled the spacious kitchen nook. Not just people, shifters, she guessed correctly.

Oddly enough it didn’t upset her like she would’ve thought. She knew Taylor through her cousin, had met him before. He’d reclaimed his woman and smiled at Lacey with a sympathetic expression on his face.

He was movie star handsome, she supposed, but he did nothing for her. Not that it would’ve mattered judging from the possessive arm he had around the curvy woman next to him.

“You’ve met my fiancée? This is Krissy,” he nodded, and the woman held out her hand.

“Nice to see you again. We sort of met a few months ago,” Lacey said and took the proffered hand.

“Yes, I remember. I hope the other guy looks worse,” she said, acknowledging the elephant in the room.

“He will,” replied Daniel with a growl.

All the eyebrows in the room reached for the ceiling at that quietly uttered sentiment. Including Lacey’s.

“So, the news I’d heard about you is true then, Taylor? You two are engaged?”

“Yes, we are,” he smiled.

“Congratulations!”

So, the infamous playboy was really engaged! Lacey could not be happier for him. The bright and cheerful Krissy Sposa was wonderful from what she could see.
