I stood there and stared at him with his face full of shaving cream and couldn’t help but laugh.

“What’s so funny?” he asked.

“You and your face full of shaving cream.”

“Oh really?” He leaned in closer, and I ran for I didn’t want him to ruin my makeup.

He chased me down the stairs and caught me before I made it into the kitchen. Turning me around, he pressed the side of his face against mine.

“You asshole.” I laughed as I pushed him away. “Now I have to redo my foundation.”

“I think it goes nice with your one made-up eye. You talk about my shaving cream face?” He swooped down and picked me up.

“I hate you.” I smiled as my arms wrapped around his neck.

“No, you don’t.” He kissed my forehead.

“Oh, but I do,” I said as he carried me up the stairs.

“You’ll get over it.” He winked with a smile.

“What are you going to do while I’m in therapy?” I asked him as we walked up the stairs, hand in hand, to the second floor.

“I’ll go see if my brother has time to talk. If not, I’ll visit my cousins or hang out in the kitchen if they're busy.”

“Sounds like a plan.” I smiled as we reached Charlotte’s practice.

“Have a good session.” He kissed my lips.

“I will.”

I walked into Charlotte’s practice and saw her at the reception desk.

“Good morning.” She smiled. “Come on back. Was that Grayson I saw?”

“Yeah. He has the day off, but he’s on call. We’re going to do something today,” I said as we walked into her office, and I took a seat on the couch.

“How was your bubble bath last night?” She grinned.

“Amazing. Something happened last night.”

“What?” Her brows furrowed.

“Grayson told me this morning that Luna was huddled in the corner crying from a nightmare last night.”

“You have no recollection of that?”

“No. When I woke up, I saw him sitting on the edge of the bed. I think Luna freaked him out.”

“He’s met Luna before,” she said.

“I know, but this was different. A crying child in an adult body. He didn’t know what to do.”

“He’ll figure it out. Grayson really likes you, and if he couldn’t handle the others, he wouldn’t have asked you to stay at his house with him.”

“I’m in love with him, Charlotte.”
