“Okay, thanks Landon.” She seems almost disappointed.

“Want to cuddle with me?” Maverick wiggles his eyebrows, inciting a groan from me, an eye roll from Landon and a light chuckle from Violet.

“There you go. Landon, share with Maverick.” It’s now my turn to wiggle my eyebrows.

“Not who I meant, but I’ll take the asshole, pun intended”

Landon chokes on his beer and Violet laughs even harder. Her laughter is music to my ears.

Once Violet catches her breath, she asks questions we don’t have the answers to. “How is this going to work? We get one big bed? You guys get your own room and I’m the one that moves every night?”

“We can get one big bed?” Landon says but it comes out as a question.

“Oh, does little Landy want cuddles?” Maverick opens his arms.

“Mav you come near me, and I will punch you.”

Violet has tears running down her face from laughter watching Maverick and Landon being well Maverick and Landon.

“Okay, no more, but seriously, you can sleep with me tonight.”

“What if I wanted her in my bed?” Why does Maverick get her?

“What if she wants to be by herself tonight?” When the hell did Landon become the logical one?

“I don’t want to be, but thank you for thinking like that, Landon.”

The way she looks at him, I wish I was the one that suggested it.

“Who has the biggest bed?”

I like the way this could be going.

Landon replies before I can, “Ax”

“Can all four of us sleep in your bed?”

“It might be tight, but sure baby.”

“Okay, now that that’s settled, my next question. When do we get our stuff?”

Landon answers since it was a question meant for him. “Tomorrow. I’ll take off work and you can skip class and come with me.”

“I don’t think I want to see Mum or your dad just yet.”

“We’ll all go. I can let the guys manage the shop for a couple of hours, and Axel can throw a sick day.”

“No, no. I don’t want you guys to take time off work for me. I can go with Landon in the morning, get a few things and my car and then go to class straight after.”

“And your other things?” Maverick asks.

“We can get it Saturday. Just…someone has to keep Mum away from me.”

“If that’s what you want little one.”

“That’s what I want, now can we go to bed?”
