“Immy! Where are you?” Tobias demanded.

“Hey! What’s going on?” Jenner asked.

“Why are you yelling?” Sampson snapped.

“Because Immy put peanut butter on my sheets,” Tobias said.

“I did not!” she cried.

“Immy,” Abe said. “Come out here.”

“No! I’m going to stay in my pile of stuffies. I live here now.”

A hand reached in and grabbed her arm gently. Then she was pulled out of the stuffy pile. She looked up with a big smile at Tobias.

“Hi, Tobias. I was just going to bed, so if all of you could leave . . .”

“Peanut butter? Really?” Tobias gave her a stern look.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said innocently.

“Right,” Sampson said. “You’re doing the potty dance.”

“I am not!”

She totally was.

“What’s this then?” Jenner held up the peanut butter and knife that she’d hidden in her bedside drawer.

“Hey! That’s private. It’s my late-night snack.”

“You hate peanut butter,” Abe pointed out.

“You’re all ganging up on me! And he deserved it. He ratted me out.”

Jenner pointed at the door. “Go take the sheets off Tobias’s bed, I’ll get him new ones. Sorry, man.”

“You don’t need to apologize,” Tobias said. “And I’ll change the sheets on my bed.” But he leaned closer to her. “This will wait, Little girl. Until a time when I can properly punish you.”

Um. Yikes.

“Boss? You wanted to see me?” Tobias knocked on the door to Alejandro’s office in his South Hampton office.

“Yeah, come in and shut the door.” Alejandro brushed at his pants. “Christ, who knew a fucking horse could shed so much hair?”

Tobias tried to control the twitching of his lips, but he couldn’t. “Thought it was a unicorn?”

Alejandro pointed at him. “Do not say that around my wife. No encouraging her. I don’t need any more fucking unicorns turning up.”

Personally, he thought Cat was hilarious. But he wasn’t married to her. Or in charge of keeping her safe.

Tobias really felt bad for Rafael. He didn’t know how the other man hadn’t lost his mind while taking care of Cat.

“Got it.”

Alejandro eyed him for a moment. “I wanted to talk to you before you all headed back to Nashville.”
