Chapter 147

At the same time, over In Sunshine Community…

Tarquin was perched on the edge of Elijah’s bed, trying to have a heart–to–heart.

“So, the lady you met this morning, you’re not a fan?”

“Nope!”

“But she was handpicked by your Uncle Benjamin, and you know how much he adores you. For his sake, if not for hers, could you maybe give her a chance for a few more days?”

“No way!”

“You realize Uncle Benjamin will be upset if you send her packing so soon.”

Elijah furrowed his little brow and looked up. “Is it Uncle Benjamin who’ll be upset, or is it you?”

“Huh?”

“Did Uncle Benjamin really find her, or was it you?”

Tarquin was silent.

Tarquin’s face darkened. “No, I do not!”
