Everything changes the moment we get the test results. Alessi calls Daniel and we all hear his loud, enthusiastic approval coming through the phone that Daniel, wincing, has to hold away from his ear. I smirk, digging into my pancakes and watching Daniel’s face as he speaks in Italian to his uncle, accepting his congratulations and saying a bunch of stuff I don’t understand.
“Sexy,” Janeen says, sitting down next to me and with a yawn, her eyes on Daniel. “Does your other one do that? With the speaking Italian?”
“He sure does,” I reply, smirking, stabbing at my pancakes.
“Please refrain from drooling over my boyfriend,” Jerome says next to me, pointing his fork at Janeen. “I’m not sure he’s gay enough to resist your wiles.”
I laugh and point my own fork at Jerome. “He’s my husband, interloper,” I point out, grinning. “If any of us are encroaching on someone’s territory, it’s you.”
Jerome laughs, shaking his head at me and accepting his own plate of pancakes from Papa Thompson, who smiles but pretends he’s not listening. I grin and take a sip from my coffee as Daniel hangs up his phone.
“Well,” he says, looking around at all of us with a tight grin. “Looks like they’re coming for a visit.”
“What!?” I gasp, dropping my fork. “Here!?”
He gives a shrug, grimacing at me. “I can’t stop them. They know where we’re living.”
I groan, tilting my head back and staring up at the ceiling. Above all, this little beach house has been a haven away from the world where we can all be ourselves and don’t have to pretend.
So Alessi and Natalia? Here? It’s the absolute last thing I want.
“Um, I did not invite them to my beach house,” Janeen snaps, stabbing at her breakfast. “They are not welcome here.”
“Still Fay’s house,” Daniel says, giving her a cheeky wink and turning to me. “Unless…” he says, hesitating. “This goes against your plans?”
