[color=#006400]”We’ll be in the air for about two hours before we land. The sun will be setting then, and it’ll give you a good view of where we are going. Maybe you’ll figure it out when you see the place from the air,”[/color] Caden said, turning his head to grin at Nero.

[color=#B0C4DE]”Yes, that would be sad. But then you would be deprived of seeing me in leather again,”[/color] Avery said with a wink. 

He waited for Kimiko to grab her things before he took her hand and walked with her to the front door. [color=#B0C4DE]”It’s weird not having everyone here,”[/color] he mumbled while they walked. The house wasn’t always busy, but there was always someone wandering around.

Cassiopeia sent Nic a winking emoji that moved before she slipped her phone away again. They finished packing the van just as Nic got home. Cassi stood by the SUV, grinning. [color=#DB7093]”Just in time for us to drive over to the new place,”[/color] she said and handed Nic a bottle of water.

Before Nic went back to work, he had nursed Cassiopeia back to health, and had been as attentative as ever. Cassi adored the attention, but she was also grateful when Nic went back to work because it gave her time to remake her own space, and establish a routine. Now that she was fully healed, and things had gotten back to normal, she could repay the favour of Nic looking after her so well by providing for him.
