“How a lot do you suppose we’ll eat?” I requested with fun.

Shepard glanced at me. “I’ve an enormous urge for food.”

Was it simply me, or was he now not speaking about meals?

If the opposite ladies observed, they didn’t let on. They had been too busy eradicating the lids and inserting all the things on the four-seat kitchen desk.

I took within the sight of eggs benedict, French toast, crepes, bacon, sausage, contemporary fruit, and cinnamon rolls. Every little thing appeared lovingly ready with inventive garnishes.

“Do you have got knowledgeable chef?” I requested after they left.

“One of many wives is a chef. I employed her to handle the meals right here.”

“With so many individuals, I assume she doesn’t work alone, proper?”

He nodded. “There’s a job for everybody who needs to contribute.”

Vena shuffled out of the bed room. “I scent bacon.” Her nostril led her straight to the platter. She stole two straight away and mentioned she’d be again. Shepard and I sat down. Vena returned in seconds. What amazed me extra was that she was absolutely dressed.

“Did you dash?” I requested her.

“If there’s bacon, I’ve tremendous pace.” She sat on the desk and piled many of the bacon onto her plate together with one slice of French toast, one cinnamon roll, and one ripe strawberry. “For steadiness,” she mentioned once I eyed the one strawberry.

I shook my head at her and checked out Shepard as he positioned a cinnamon roll on my plate.

“What does immediately’s problem imply for you?” I requested. “If you had been speaking about it with Cross on the restaurant, it sounded unhealthy.”

“It depends upon the explanation I’m challenged. MC says he thinks I’m main poorly, however I imagine he’s difficult me as a result of I pulled him away from Vena.”

“Thanks very a lot for that,” Vena mentioned.

Shepard smiled at her and nodded.

“So that you’re not nervous then? Do you want assist with something?”

“Truly, I hoped to speak to each of you about that,” he mentioned. “Whereas I’d relatively maintain you each right here till your shift at Blur, I don’t suppose it might be truthful for both of you.”

“Why?” I requested.

“Coordinating tonight’s problem goes to take up each minute of my time after breakfast.”

“I hope you squash MC,” Vena mentioned with bacon protruding of her mouth.

“I’ll.”

“I would like front-row seats.”

Shepard’s gaze shifted to me. “You’ll have them.”

“So the place are we going for those who don’t need us right here?” I requested.

“I would like you right here, Everly. By no means doubt that. However for now, I’d really feel higher for those who had been at your own home. I’ll ship Doc with you.”

“Nope. Preserve your guys out discovering vamps so Miles will be free. I assume you want them to assist with the problem, too. Cross can guard us,” Vena mentioned. “We’ll inform him to satisfy us there after breakfast.”

“Okay, however Miles ought to keep,” Shepard mentioned. “And I’m solely sending the 2 of you house briefly till the problem is full. Then you definately’re again right here with me.”

The very fact he didn’t say no to Cross stunned me. Hadn’t he mentioned no to Cross being on the home in trade for getting Cross his identification papers?
