"And after he comes for dinner maybe the two of you will want to get rid of me?" she asks with a laugh and an arched eyebrow, but she rests against Les, quiet for a longer moment. April has spent her entire life bucking expectations; she's avoided getting attached for most of her life, she has absolutely no interest in getting to know the family that's suddenly all around her and she has more warrants out for her arrest than anyone knows. She's nothing like what most people expect below the surface and there aren't many people who know that part of her.

But Les is one of them and he's still here. More than that, he's open to all the unexpected things about her and she smiles, then shifts on the couch so she can press a kiss against his jaw.

"Then I guess we're making dinner plans," she says and she expects Caden will be pleased to hear this. There had been something so sweet in his face the night before, something hopeful.
