“It’s happening. No arguing.”

She sighed. He could be so stubborn sometimes. The only positive thing was that she couldn’t see them keeping many in stock.

He helped her dress her other dolls and play with her wooden doll before there was a knock on the door. Standing, he pointed a finger at her.

“Stay.”

Good lord. His arrogance really could be too much sometimes.

“Hey, Mr. Starr,” someone greeted him when he opened the door.

“Call me Brand, Liam. Thanks for doing this.”

“No worries, are you sure you really want all of these?”

She tried to peer around Brand, but he completely blocked Liam from her view. She owed Liam a thank you for everything he’d chosen for her. Biting her lip, she glanced down at her onesie. Well, he’d probably picked it out so he wouldn’t be shocked to see her in it. Especially since he worked here.

Getting to her feet, she headed toward Brand.

“Yep. I do.”

“Uh, and you want me to charge it to your room?” Liam asked.

“Yep,” Brand replied as he took several bags from a younger guy.

“Holy moly, how many balls did you have in stock?” she asked.

Liam grinned at her around Brand’s body. “Hey, there Miss Jolie! Glad you’re feeling better.”

“I am, thank you.”

Brand half-turned, giving her a stern look. Uh-oh. Right. He’d said that she was to stay there. But she might not get another chance to say thank you to Liam.

“And there’s a hundred and two dolls there,” Liam added. “You’re gonna have a lot of fun, huh?”

“A hundred and two? Brand!” she protested.

Brand crossed his arms over his chest. “Excuse me? What do you call me?”

She swallowed hastily. “Daddy, you can’t buy a hundred and two dolls!”

“Why not?” he asked.

“B-because that’s got to be like close to a thousand dollars.”

“Actually, it’s over,” Liam told her. “One thousand and sixteen dollars and ninety-four cents.”

Holy moly.

She was suddenly feeling lightheaded. She leaned against Brand.

“Shit! Baby, are you all right?” He lifted her up onto his hip. She might be embarrassed about that later. But right now, she was kind of in shock.

“You can’t buy all of them, Daddy!”

“Pfft. Of course I can. Thanks, Liam.” He grabbed hold of the door, but she cried out a protest.

“Wait! I have to say thank you to Liam.”
