He turned and gestured to our SUV.
I guess it is time to meet the Bayou Banshee.
Slowly, I left the vehicle, holding Emilio in my arms.
My mouse took Paolo’s hand. Together, they got out of the car.
A warm smile spread across Delphine’s face while she watched us exit.
Everyone remained silent.
Delphine’s eyes softened as she looked at Emily and Paolo.
To my shock, Paolo pointed at her. “Woman, mysh.”
Emily kept her voice low. “Uh yes. She is a woman, baby.”
Paolo tapped his head. “In my dreams.”
“What?” Emily blinked. “What do you mean?”
“Dreams.” Paolo smiled.

I turned back to Baba. A stern expression covered her face.

I whispered, “What is going on, Baba?”
“Nothing, Kazimir. Just give me that little one.”
I did as she said.
In that moment, I realized Delphine was making her way towards us.
My nerves flared.
