“Is everything good?”
“Everything is great. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“That was Simon checking up on me.” I set my phone down on the nightstand.
“Your brothers love you very much,” Nick said. “And they’ll stop at nothing to protect you.”
“I love them too. I know I haven’t known them that long, but I feel this connection with them that I can’t describe. I feel like I’ve known them my entire life.”
“That’s because you’re right where you belong, Claire.” He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. “You’re a Kind, and that connection is very strong.”
I cocked my head at him. “I am a Kind, aren’t I?”
“You have Henry’s blood running through you. So, yes, you are.” He smiled.
“I think I want to change my last name. How would you feel about that?” I asked.
“Claire Kind. I love it. It suits you.”
“Don’t say anything to my brothers. I want it to be a surprise.”
“I promise I won’t.” He rolled me on my back and hovered over me. “How about we go for round two before going to sleep?”
“Round two sounds amazing.” I smiled as our lips met.
When I stepped into Simon’s house at six-thirty a.m. to get ready for work, he stood there holding a cup of coffee with a smile.
“Well?” he asked.
“I’m in love.” I grinned as I grabbed the cup from his hands and took it upstairs.
“Hey, that’s mine.” He followed me.
“I need to get ready for work. I can’t be late.”
“Sure, you can. Our brother owns the place. He doesn’t care,” Simon said. “I want details on last night.” He followed me into the bathroom.
“And you’ll get them later.” I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him out of the bathroom. “I have to shower,” I said, shutting the door.
“You’re a mean sister, Claire,” he said.
I laughed as I started the shower and got ready for work. I went downstairs and saw Grace feeding Milo while Nora ate breakfast at the table.
“Good morning.” I kissed the top of Nora’s head.
“Everything good?” Grace smiled.
“Everything’s great.” I walked over and kissed Milo’s head. “Did Simon leave already?”
“Yeah. He had to get to the station.”
I glanced at my watch. “Shit. I have to go. I’ll talk to you later.”
When I stepped outside, I glanced down the street and saw all the work trucks at my house. I smiled because soon, I could move in and call it my forever home.
I was sitting at my desk when my phone rang. Glancing at it, I saw Richard was calling.
“Hi, Richard.”
