- About the Author
“Anyway, Ellis you are my hero, thank you for keeping this one out of trouble – I have enough to worry about with the other idiots. I could swear they want me to throw things at them.” Cassie slips her arm through mine as I laugh, she tells me Rook’s latest antics and this woman must have the patience of a saint.
Cassie herds us over to a gold sequin backdrop for our official pictures. Just in time for her baby debut, Charlotte wakes up and smiles up at her dad as he unstraps her. To give him credit Liam picked some cute outfits.
Jack is matching him with black pants and a black shirt and he looks so handsome, and Charlotte is pretty as a picture in a gold tulle dress with a matching headband.
The photographer takes a few of all of us and then Cassie takes Charlotte and Jack over to the side for some couple photos. Just when I think she is going to move us along for the next attendees she actually hands Charlotte to her brother for them to get some pictures and promises me she will send them over to me. I think I like that girl a whole hell of a lot.
As we join the party, I can’t take my eyes off Liam and not because of the obvious. Of course he looks good enough to eat and our daughter cuddling on his chest should be illegal because of the butterflies it’s giving me. That isn’t it, though. I can’t stop looking at him because he looks shifty.
It’s like every time he looks my way his attention snaps somewhere else and he whispers something to Edge. Jack is running around with a few other kids and Lyndsey is saying something to me but I can’t hear a word of it. I know he is planning something; he is no poker player, that’s for sure.
There is nothing I could think of that would require all of the guys like this. Even Anders looks on edge which never happens. I feel Cassie come up on my left and her and Lyndsey start talking, I am just nodding along. I could be agreeing to anything but I can’t look away from my man. That is until Jack pulls on my dress. “Mum! I want to come to this party every day!” Before I can reply though he runs off again disappearing into the crowd of children. When I look up again the guys are gone.
