I crossed to her in a few strides, pulling her into my arms and pressing a kiss to her temple. “Morning.”

She squirmed. “Griffin, the kids.”

I chuckled. “They’re used to me holding you. And they’ll get used to me kissing you, too.” I surveyed her face. “Unless you think last night was a mistake…” Just saying the words had the little bit of coffee I’d drunk souring in my stomach.

“No.” Caelyn gripped my t-shirt and pulled me closer. “I definitely don’t think that kiss was a mistake.” She rose to her tiptoes and pressed her lips to the corner of my mouth.

I fought the urge to toss her over my shoulder and take her back to the house. Will cleared his throat. “So, you two have anything you’d like to share with the class?” He was grinning so widely, it looked like his face might crack in two.

Caelyn’s fingers twisted and untwisted the hem of my shirt. “I don’t think there’s anything the class needs to know at this juncture.” She widened her eyes and tipped her head towards Ava and Mia.

“I thought there were no secrets in this family?” Will teased.

“You know a secret?” Mia asked, lifting Luci into her arms.

Panic briefly flashed across Caelyn’s features but then she shook her head. “Will’s just giving me a hard time.” She turned her gaze to the teen. “And if he keeps it up, he’s going to be on dish duty for the rest of the week.”

“Keep it up, Will. I’m on dishes this week, and I’m happy to share,” Ava offered, her eyes twinkling.

Her smile told me she might be more aware of things between her sister and me than Caelyn thought. I took another sip of coffee. “You guys done with your yoga? Time for breakfast?” I gave Caelyn my best puppy dog eyes as I asked.

She just shook her head. “We’ve got a little more to go. Why don’t you join us?”

The sudden evil glint in Caelyn’s eyes had me wanting to take a step back. Instead, I set my coffee down on the bottom step of the deck. “I could use a little morning snooze, sure.”

Will shot me a warning look. “Don’t come crying to me when this all goes wrong.”

“How could it go wrong? It’s basically stretching.”

“Some of the stuff is actually pretty hard,” Ava warned.

“Yeah,” Mia echoed. “Even harder than some of my gymnastics exercises.”

Caelyn gestured towards the grass. “But I’m sure with all those muscles, it shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

I grinned. “You eyeing my muscles, Caelyn?”

She rolled her eyes heavenward. “Just hurry and warm up. I’m not going to have a pulled muscle on my conscience.”
