“Sounds fantastic.”
“Sounds delicious.”
“There’s dessert?”
People say all at once.
Cleo stands. “I’ll be right back!”
Autumn laughs and pushes back her chair, and stands. “Let me help you.”
Miya gets up, stopping behind Nikita. “How about we join them?”
Nikita looks nervous, but she stands and follows my girl out of the room. Miya shoots me a warning look over her shoulder before she disappears.
“You good?” I ask Kado.
He tips his chin but otherwise doesn’t move.
He’s something else.
The girls come back, hands full of treats, and set them down on the table.
“Okay, we have some options,” Cleo says.
“Some?” Callum asks with laughter in his voice.
Cleo rolls her eyes. “Okay, so I might have gone a little overboard, sue me.”
There’s several types of pie, a cake, something with a crumbly top, and cookies.
“It looks great, princess,” Kai praises her.
She shoots him a thankful smile. “Everyone grab what you want.”
“What is that?” I murmur to Miya.
“A crumble, maybe? I don’t know. It looks good, though,” she says softly.
I get a slice of the cake and dig in.
“Oh dear.” Autumn laughs.
Turning, I see her trying to wipe off a frosting-covered Emily.
“I think it’s safe to say she likes the cake,” Kai says.
“Our girls got good taste.” Callum smiles down at his daughter.
Once dessert is finished, Kai clears his throat. “Would you gentlemen like to join me upstairs on the roof for a nightcap?”
“Sure.” Callum nods.
I lean down and kiss the top of Miya’s head. “Let me know if you need me.”
“I’ll be fine. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
