It’s seriously ironic that right at that moment, there’s a frantic cry from downstairs I don’t know if it’s from Ellis, Leandra, Luna, or Lindy, but I do know it’s not their granny because it’s less high-pitched and not so cackly

“Ohthe cake!”

The guys look at each other all at once, and then there’s a staurative dust With a sigh, I uys shoved each other all over the staircase in their rush to see what the heck is going on down in what I assume is the kitchen

That’s where I find everyone clustered aroundpaws in cake

“We’ve been outdone,” Kirian breathes, ad into his tone

“So outdone,” Taylen concurs

“I second that,” Ash whispers, awe-struck

“Technically, it would be thirding it,” Ellis points out

Luna laughs, then claps her hand over her mouth like it’s a major sin to find what just happened to be extreame

I tend to agree with her for the most part They’re lovable boneheads, but they can absolutely be stubborn and silly and just so…so…I don’t know The male Cromwells are a breed of their own
