Henry is a whirlwind of energy, zipping around the lounge like a tiny hurricane, clinging to the TV remote he's found and smacking it against the couch.

Jayden keeps half an eye on him while balancing a steaming cup of coffee and scrolling through something on his phone.

"Should I be worried that your kid's favorite pastime is destruction?" I ask, leaning against the back of the couch.

Jayden smirks but doesn't look up. "He's not destructive. He's... curious."

"Curious? That's one word for it."

"Curiosity is healthy," he smiles.

Henry giggles and bolts along the floor as I make a beeline to get the remote back off him.

"Healthy for him maybe." I huff and puff as I wrestle the object out of his vice-like grip. "Give me that before you break something, little man."

Henry retaliates with an ear-piercing squeal that makes me cringe. Jayden just grins and plucks him off the floor, holding him upside down like a sack of potatoes. "That's enough, buddy. Aunt Cass is tired of your antics. She can't handle this level of testosterone." "Pfffft. I work in a male-dominated industry. I can handle any testosterone you two have. Anyway, Henry is too young for hormones yet."

Jayden rights Henry, setting him on his lap. "Gabriel is in town. I signed Brennan Industries over to him."

My attention snaps to Jayden. "Does he know I'm here?"

Jayden shrugs. "I might have mentioned it."
