Over ti for all of us My brothers are cousins are insane for it I’ve just gone along with it because they want me to I’m not the mastermind behind the devious actions There was a time when they made Milo lick the cake, to introduce hi dropped on top of hi it in the air They also try andinconspicuous, and they wanted hiuess the trophy has to be taken bybefore she could marry a man she didn’t love, and with her cake He licked it and set it in thecake, just like that

My proclamation about the cake freezes my Ash and Trent, Toren and Taylen in their tracks The woranny lets out a hoot and a huge granny cackle Daniel’s grandhs, and Wes just studies my male relatives with curious, dubious, skepticism I really should have done a better job with the introductions, but it’s too late

Tay moves first He has a title to defend He shoots off in the direction of the kitchen- figuring if we ca to do with the cake hiding Toren can never be outdone byhim out of the way Ash and Trent are just as co behind the other two

“I give theet outside and are in the pool,” I whisper to Daniel, who is staring at h and a ridiculously adorable amount of optimism on his face “Should we lock them out?”

“Do you think it’s necessary?”

“Absolutely At least until they cool off or we get you a suit of armour Whatever comes first”

Daniel grins at me, because he thinks I’m not serious I mean, I did try and tell him it would be okay Didn’t I? No, no, actually I think I tried to warn his would be very not okay

“I’h the glass They’ll probably need to spend a good few hours getting cake out of the pool too Sorry about that I wasn’t thinking when I sent them out there”

Daniel guidesus space to talk privately for a ranny gets the front, if it’s not locked already She probably will She’s kind of a mind reader that way She also knows my brothers and cousins too well

I watch them hurtle, one after another, into the pool They aren’t even subtle about it They dive right in, in their shoes and their expensive clothes Only Ash is wearing jeans Trent is in freaking dress pants and a suit, and Tay and Tor are both wearing dress shirts and shorts Everyone has expensive leather shoes on

I shake my head at the scene Toren reaches the cake first, but Taylen grabs hio rocks violently Ash grabs it and steadies it, but when Trent tries to clie of it, he can’t be outdone and in afrooes up as the one end of the floatie crashes down It sails through the air, oodness, to splat on the edge

Trent and Ash are battling it out in the water, dunking each other over the stunt Ash just pulled, and while Tor and Tay are cla beats a it

I put a hand over hter, but there isn’t any point It coh the roo

“I had no idea that Elodie left her dog back there You’re a brave oes”

“Oh, well, the laill survive,” Daniel says kindly “I had no idea he was out there”

“My granny dog sits for theht hiot here”

Jeffers continues to wolf down the cake while the guys keep trying to drown each other in the pool
