Then, when the stairs lowered, Krispin left Cole’s side and came to stand beside Cassie.
He looked up at her and asked, “You ready, Mom?”
She smiled as she nodded, “Yeah, baby. Ready.”
Then I let Cassie go and went back to Frank’s side.
I knew how this was going to go.
His team, Smoke, Wolf, Ice, Jekyll, and Hyde, stepped off, followed by Alec.
I still only knew Smoke’s real name.
And no matter how many times I had tried to find out what they were, I got nowhere.
Then, as I knew, Krispin took off running to Alec.

He winked, then he said, “Why is it the two of you always make us late?”
We both chuckled as we pulled apart, then she winked at me, before she turned her head, “Was it you who was late yesterday, and we had to wait on dinner?”
I opened my mouth and said, “And wasn’t it you who was late to my game last weekend?”
He narrowed his eyes, then he said, “Oh, I see, it’s pick on me today. Is that it?”
I shrugged.
My phone pinged with a text.
