Yes, it had been.
As they placed out their pillows and spread-out blankets, Ethan cuddled up with Gene, and Elizabeth played man sandwich with Callen and Chris.
Honestly, there was never a problem when it came to cuddling in their unit.
Sign.
Her.
Up.
This wasn’t how she’d planned on spending the night, but Ethan needed his family.
Later, she’d get some work done.
For them now, there had to be rest for the wicked.
Because tomorrow was going to be a marathon.
A brutal one.
Chapter Twenty-One
At Rayna’s Place
Later Evening
Fortunately for him, they had access to MATE, and Caspian was able to find the woman’s address. It felt invasive to him, but he’d forgotten to ask Elizabeth where she lived.
It appeared that he was going to have to do the work to locate her.
Now that he had, there was one thing he was feeling.
Nervous as fuck.
Only, he knew that he needed to be brave and face Rayna down. Hopefully, she would still be awake, and willing to talk to him.
The bottom line was that Elizabeth was right. He could use a little fun in his life.
Okay, he could use a lot of fun.
Parking the blacked-out ride that he borrowed and needed to get back in the morning, he checked out the cabin.
It looked like every other cabin on the reservation, but there were definite signs that a woman lived there.
All around it, there were flowers planted, hanging in window boxes, and off of the rails of the deck.
The path was lit up, and there were more cheery blooms lining it to the steps.
Caspian knew he needed to stop staring and actually grow a set.
So, he did.
Getting out, he grabbed the wine and takeout—the incredibly cold takeout—and headed up the path. When he got to the door, he knocked and held his breath.
What he deserved was to be told to kick rocks.
What he hoped was that she would listen and give him a moment to explain.
