“Fine.But you just lost some points, Milo.”
“I will try to earn them back.”
With a sigh, I got in and waited for him to join me.
“So you’re employed by Mr.Wulf.Through the business or personally?”
“Personally.”
“Where do you live?”
“In the big house with my wife, Sandy.She manages the household.”
“Mmm.How many people work there now?”
“Staff has been temporarily reduced to Sandy and myself.”
I turned to look at him.“What?Why?”
“Mr.Wulf will discuss it with you when you return.”
I stared forward, not liking how that sounded.Rather than wait for an explanation, I pulled out my phone and texted the only group chat I had.
Me: What gives?Why am I being picked up by some old guy and not by either of my two favorite people?Do you want a demotion?
Karter: Sorry, Princess.Orders.We’ve been reassigned.
Aiden: No demotion!We’re owed favorite status.
Me: The favorite title needs maintenance.Be prepared to compensate me for this level of neglect.He wouldn’t even let me drive!
Both sent back laughing emojis.I tucked my phone away, leaving the rest of what I wanted to say until I saw them.
It took an hour to reach “the big house,” as Milo called it.It wasn’t that big.The Wulfs weren’t showy with their money like that.It was just the biggest house in the expansive gated community known as Alpine Run.Surrounded by lawns, gardens, and trees, the house had been a dream come true for six-year-old me when I first arrived.During my childhood, I’d gone on countless adventures with Aiden and Karter, who were three years older than me.
I waited for Milo to park in the circle in front of the house drive before I bolted out of the car.The oversized front door banged against the wall as I rushed into the foyer.
Breathing in deeply, I turned a slow circle, taking it all in.The house was exactly as I remembered it.
Home.Finally.
“I’m home,” I called out.
“So I see,” a deep voice returned.
I spun around toward the stairs and saw Bennett descending.
He wasn’t the first person I’d hoped to see.Or the second…or third.Honestly, he was almost at the bottom of the list.Not that I hated him or anything.He was just…Bennett.Seven years my senior, he’d always been distant and stuffy, not fun like Aiden or Karter, his younger brothers.
Bennett had changed a lot since I last saw him.
Seven years.
He’d been about nineteen, my current age, back then.He also might have even gotten taller by an inch or two, which wasn’t fair since that meant he towered over me by an unreasonable fourteen inches.
He looked handsome…and even more uptight now than he had the last time I’d seen him.
He no longer wore high-end athletic clothes, but a tailored suit that showcased his broad shoulders and narrow waist.However, some things hadn’t changed.His dark hair was still neatly styled, and his expression still didn’t give away his thoughts as his dark brown gaze locked with mine.
