I hadn’t thought I was very good company, but maybe she was lonely and didn’t mind. “I’ll try not to cry the next time.”

Madison waved her hand. “Anyone who ever shames an omega for crying needs a swift kick in the teeth. Oh, the babies are here!”

She hopped to her feet, and I turned to see two little feline faces poking around the corner.

“You’re not allergic, are you?”

“Nope.”

She scooped both of the cats up and brought them over. “This is Poppy and Pepper.”

I assumed Pepper was the black cat, which meant Poppy was the tabby.

“My little dumpster babies. Tyler hates them, but I overruled him,” Madison said with a laugh.

I gave them each a scratch behind their ears, earning some vigorous purring. “They’re gorgeous.”

“Do you have any pets?”

“No. My ex hated animals, and it wasn’t worth the fight. I used to spend a lot of time with horses, though, and had my own for a few years.”

“Shut up. That’s so cool.” Madison passed Pepper into my arms and the cat curled up the moment I started petting her. “You should totally go to Night of Knights! Nothing like hot men on horseback to improve your mood.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. It certainly wouldn’thurtmy mood. “I bet my boys would like it.”

“Absolutely. Kids get a huge kick out of it.”

My phone beeped and I checked the screen.

Ava:

The boys are done eating

You can leave them with us for a while longer if you want

Get some rest

“You have to go?” Madison asked.

“Technically. I’m sure they’re having fun, but I should get my kids home. We could all use a quiet day.”

Madison nodded thoughtfully and gave me her number. “Don’t be a stranger, okay? And let me know how you like the show when you go.”

“I definitely will. Thank you so much. You’re a lifesaver.”

Madison gave me a hug and collected Pepper back from me. “No need to thank me. Omegas have to stick together.”

On my way back, I texted Ava.

Charlotte:

You’ve done more than enough. I need to get them wound down, but thank you.

Would it be too much to ask that I not see Beau when I get there?

Ava:

Bryce has him upstairs
