Rafael put down the knife and chopping board on the table. “I’ll cut the limes. Last thing I need is you cutting yourself. Also, I’m going to tell on you.”
“Remember what snitches get,” Cat sung.
“You will not put blue dye in my shower gel.” Rafael pointed at her.
Cat just grinned. “Who me? Why would I do something like that?”
“Because you’re a brat.”
Cat gasped. “So rude. What happened to bodyguards being invisible?”
“Those bodyguards weren’t tasked with guarding you.”
Ouch. Those words might have hurt Faith’s feelings, but Cat’s laughter told her that this was how the two of them often interacted.
And she thought she might have caught a glimpse of amusement on Rafael’s face. Maybe.
Faith’s phone buzzed. She checked it, surprised that it wasn’t from Reuben.
“Oh, it’s Charlie.”
“Who’s Charlie?” Cat asked.
She explained about meeting Charlie the other day at the toy shop.
“Aww,” Cat said. “That’s so sad. We need to help him find someone.”
“If only there was a site or something for Littles to find Tops,” Faith said. “I mean, I know there’re some things out there, but those places can be scary.”
Cat nodded. “Definitely. A safe space for Littles to look for Tops. I think that’s a great idea. We should do it.”
“Do what?”
“Start our own app or website. And we can make it really safe. We could send Rafael on every first date.”
“I think I need that tequila,” Rafael muttered. “Also gonna need some bread and butter.” He set the wedges limes down on a small plate next to them.
“And glasses,” Cat said.
Rafael rattled around in the cupboards.
“Charlie sounds so lonely,” Faith said. “I’m going to ask him to have coffee with me one day this week.”
“Just make sure you tell Reuben,” Cat suggested.
“Why?”
“Um, because he’s a strange man? Reuben will want to investigate him. Maybe even go with you.”
“But Charlie is harmless,” Faith protested. “He seems nice.”
“Oh dear.” Cat stared at her. “Blossom, you can’t just trust people because they seem nice.”
Fudge. Cat was right.
“But we can’t go around thinking everyone is bad, either,” she pointed out.
“I don’t like it, but we have to be careful. The men we’re with . . . there are people out there who would use us to get to them. You understand what I’m saying?”
