“Okay. That should work. Besides, maybe some of what we smell is coming from outside.”

“Very possible. I think I hear the delivery truck.”

By the time my new fridge is in and running, and the old one is long gone, I’ve almost forgotten about the smell.

“This is an expensive appliance,” I say as I turn to Cameron, who wears an expression of absolute innocence.

“You said you wouldn’t complain.”

“But did you have to get the most expensive one they had?”

“It’s not. They didn’t have that one in stock, and I knew you wouldn’t want to wait.”

“Ha-ha.” I open the stainless-steel appliance and sigh in happiness. “It is gorgeous. And it’ll hold so much stuff!”

“I know you love to cook, and you need a good fridge. You often cook for the pub ahead of time, so you should have an almost top-of-the-line appliance.”

“Yeah, okay. You’re right. So, I have a new car, a new fridge, and my hot water heater is fixed. I think, as long as I’m not about to jinx it, that things should go back to normal now.”

“That’s three things, so I think you’re safe.”

“Yeah, these things do happen in threes.” I walk to my bedroom and start packing a bag. “I’ll just bring enough stuff for overnight, and then we’ll reassess.”

“You can stay for as long as you need.”

“That’s really nice of you.” I grin when he hugs me from behind as I’ve learned he loves to do. “You’re so selfless.”

“That’s me. They call me Selfless Cameron.”

I snort and pluck my phone off the bed when it starts to ring. “Hello?”

“Hey, are you back?”

“I am, and I have a fancy new car,” I inform Maeve. “What are you doing?”

“We’re hosting family dinner tonight. Keegan’s even closing down the pub early so we can all get together at once.”

“Awesome. What can I bring?”

“Nothing, we have it handled. Oh, bring Cameron.”

“I already planned to.” I look at the man in question, who’s watching me from the doorway where he’s leaning on the doorjamb, looking all kinds of sexy. “What time?”

“Dinner’s at six, but you can come anytime. I think most of the guys are planning to play out in Hunter’s gym. He got some new toys. Oh, and Hunter’s parents are here, too.”

“You have a full house. We’ll head that way in just a few so I can help with everything.”

“Thanks. I want to see your new car, too.”

“I’ll be sure to drive it over so I can show it off. It’s shiny. And it heats my ass.”

“Fancy,” she says and then hangs up.

“How do you feel about family dinner at Maeve’s?” I ask Cam.
