“Call me when the steaks are done.” Wrath grabs two cans of seltzer from the cooler and joins Trinity on the outdoor couch.
Charlotte jogs up the steps and rushes past us into the house.
“You all right?” I call after her.
“Yup!”
Blake’s mouth twists. “Got news to share?”
I sigh and jam my hands in my pockets. “She doesn’t want to say anything yet.”
“Heidi already told me Charlotte was puking before court.” His smile grows wider. “She’s very excited. But I understand if you want to keep it to yourselves for now.”
“Thanks.”
Heidi joins us, rubbing her back and staring after Charlotte. “She okay?”
“Are you?” I ask.
Murphy steps behind her and starts kneading a spot on her back that makes her close her eyes for a second.
“Thank you,” she says, smiling up at Blake. She sniffs and stares at the grill. “And I’m starving.”
I lift the grill lid to show her the steaks.
“That’s great.” Heidi slides her gaze between the two of us and grins. “But what are you guys eating?”
