He pulled out of the driveway and headed off to Frank’s "Where are you thinking of house hunting?"

Bunny shrugged "Near here, I think The houses are nice"

Gabe shot hilance "No offense, but can you afford it? Even with the housing o for a pretty penny"

"I can afford it, especially if some of my family is here We’ll probably start up a branch of the family business here"

"And that business would be?"

"Bunsun Exteriors Corporate specializes in co, but I want to start some residential options here I’m a landscape architect"

"So your family is rich?"

Bunny made a face "We’re comfortable Besides, it’s my father’s business, not mine If a branch opens up down here, it will be run by my Uncle Steven" He was pretty sure Uncle Steven would fall in hat he wanted to do Hell, he’d probably put Ryan in charge just so Bunny wouldn’t be forced to do the paperwork The last time they’d put an expense sheet in front of Bunny, he’d drawn big pink azalea bushes on it Ryan was this generation’s et Eric down here or if he’ll stay in Oregon?"

"My brother Dad left him behind to deal with the business while he’s in town"

"Family or Bears?"

Gabe frowned "Huh?"

"Aunt Laura, Chloe’s mom? She’s a Fox Her brother, Uncle Ray, married Uncle Steven’s sister, and they have three kids, one Fox and two Bears So most of the family is half Fox, half Bear Dad is the only one who mated a human, so Eric and I are both Bears What ? Uncle Steven and Aunt Stacy are Dad’s cousins" He glowered at Gabe "And no jokes about rednecks and first cousins"

Gabe’s lips twitched "I wouldn’t dreaot out of the car and headed to the diner, not bothering to wait for Bunny Frohting a laugh

He got out of the car, noting six bikes sitting off in a row He frowned, so about those bikes looked familiar Bunny followed the sheriff into the diner, a scent tickling his nose he hadn’t encountered in a long tinized

Gabe was standing just inside the door, his hands loose at his sides, his back straight and tight "I’irl alone"
