“And how did the two of you meet?” Parker asked.

“We met outside the Yoga studio. This beautiful woman was leaving and ran right into me. Look at her; I knew an angel had just fallen from the sky.” My father smiled, leaned over, and kissed her.”

“Oh, Honey Bear, you are so sweet.”

“Not as sweet as you are, my little pumpkin pie.”

“Okay. Enough with the names,” Julian said. “Suddenly, I just lost my appetite.”

I reached over and smacked his arm.

“So, Morgan. Where do you live in Los Angeles? You live in L.A., correct?”

“I live in New York. Roman flew me out here to help out on a case.”

“How did the two of you meet?” he asked.

“They met in Turks and Caicos, Dad,” Parker said.

“She was there spying on some rich woman’s husband who was having an affair,” Julian said.

“What case is she working on, son?” My father looked at me.

“Theodore Williamson’s case.”

“The pro bono case the firm took?” His brows furrowed.

“Yep. That’s the one.” I picked up my drink.

My father stared at me for a moment and winked. Shaking my head, I tipped the glass to my lips.

“Have you found anything yet to prove that he might be innocent?” my father asked her.

“I have.”

“Do tell.”

“Dad, you know we can’t discuss the case in front of Love,” I said.

“That’s okay. After we eat, I’ll go upstairs so you all can talk.” She smiled.

“Do you live here?” Parker asked.

“That’s why I wanted you all here for dinner tonight,” my father said. “Not only did I want to introduce you to Love, but I also wanted to tell you that she moved in.”

“And how long have the two of you been dating?” I asked.

“A whole month!” Love grinned.

“Wow. A whole month.” My brows raised.

After we finished eating, my brothers, Morgan, and I went into the living room.

“I need you to find out everything you can on Love,” I told her. “I mean, everything.”

“I’ll get on it first thing tomorrow.”

“So.” My father clapped his hands when he walked into the room. “What do you think of Love?”
