“I don’t want to give everyone a show out here,” he murmurs against my lips. His eyes are full of mischief.
“We’ll put on our own show later,” I assure him, taking the sleeping baby from him. “See you in a bit.”
We bought the condo in Maui two years ago when we decided that we needed another investment opportunity, and a place to get away from it all. We come at least four times a year.
“Mama!” I stop at the foot of our steps and turn in surprise. Lizzy is running toward me, her face deep in concentration. Jace is right behind her.
“What is it?”
“You just left us!”
“I left you with Daddy so I could put Elijah down for a nap. I thought you’d want to play some more.”
She shakes her head and climbs right up the steps ahead of me.
“We go together,” she informs us. “As a family.”
I glance at Jace, who just shrugs and takes the baby from me, cuddling him against his chest. “I guess she told us. She’s bossy. Like her mama.”
I snort, following my whole life up the steps to our home in paradise.
It’s a good life. It’s a very good life.
