Walking into Cassie’s room, Nicholas tapped on the side of his daughter’s playhouse and waited for her to emerge. He was not surprised when her head of tousled curls slipped through the makeshift curtain, a patch covering one eye.

“What do you think of a proper welcome for Isabella? A picnic perhaps.”

“Pirates don’t have picnics.” Her head slipped back behind the curtain.

“Oh.” He turned on his heels. “I’ll tell Mrs. Berths you declined a slice of her chocolate cake.”

Hearing her hurried movements, he smiled. His hands shot out as she rushed past him. “Don’t you think you should wear one of your pretty dresses?”

“No, Papa.”

Nicholas held her still. “Crumb-covered pants are no way to welcome guests, Cassie.” They had turned the house on its head and still they could not find the source of her trousers. He didn’t remember commissioning that many pants and thought perhaps the previous owner had sons and they had left a trunk behind.

She looked down, dusted off the knee-patches and smiled.

He raised a brow. “Didn’t you make a promise?”

She nodded.

“It’s settled then.” He watched her open the closet. Her eyes widened, and he was sure the task of picking a dress was new to her. “And Cassie,” he said. “Rid yourself of the eye patch.”
