“You’d have to ask her. Also, I think Mom and your mum have zero in common, so I doubt they’d ever chat if they were in town together.” She taps her bottom lip. “Do you think Colton would soundproof my room?”

“You can keep your loudest screams for when we’re outside.”

“So anyone nearby can think you’re killing me, gotcha.” She grins at my sniff. “I was thinking about a cymbal.”

“You’d have to ask Colton, but I don’t see why not.”

“Who owns the house?”

“Colt, now.”

“You can live there forever though, right?”

“Yup. I have some land earmarked over by the knot of trees in the west quadrant though. I’ll build something there when I’m ready.”

“I think I like that you knowI’dknow which part the west quadrant is.”

“I have infinite faith in your brain.”

“You’ve no idea how sexy that is.” Before I can utter another word, she muses, “I bet Callan never moves out.”

“Callan’s a homebody. He’ll end up getting married and they’ll knock down the wall to Cole’s room so they can have a suite.”

“To be fair, that suite would be bigger than most people’s three-bed homes.”

“Has he talked to you about girls?”

“You know he has. I told him about the clitoris.”

“He knows what that is,” I drawl.

“Sure he does, but the porn stuff doesn’t work.”

“It does, only not on you. You need a different touch.”

“Don’t do that,” she whispers breathily.

“Do what?”

“Get me hot and bothered.”

I smirk. “Does he have a girl in mind?”

“Maybe.”

“Another ‘what happens in Callan’s bedroom, stays in Callan’s bedroom’?”

“Ew, I’m not sleeping with your brother!”

“I never said you were.”Wait. “Mum’s sleeping with someone?”

She makes a zipping motion with her fingers as she swipes it over her mouth. “I’m saying nothing.”

“You said enough!”

“Hardly!” She harrumphs. “Anyway, it’s the girl who owns the inn.”

“I thought she was dating Calder McAllister.”
