I asked if anyone was more than three weeks in arrears.They all said, no. Happy, I then explained that they were to explain to the people they collect...d rents from that in future the new rent will be double that in the pretend books and collected twice a month.I picked a property and read out a value from the page in the pretend book and then its partner from the true book. I explained that the first value hadn’t changed in five years. They all looked at me shocked.The man who been going to. We’re having all sorts of things made from it.”Alistair took my hand. “But if there’s one ‘non-Warden’ who deserves this, it’s you, love. Aedan agreed I could have some of it for you.”I stroked the fur of my collar again and then unclasped the cloak, setting it carefully back in the chest. I was near tears, overcome with love for my little family, and I took a minute to settle myself and bury the tears before someone got the wrong idea. “Thank you.”“Does that make it my turn?” Zevran asked,. The gate opened, and I rolled into the facility. Tiffany greeted me as I entered the building. "Morning," she said with a flick of her dark auburn hair. "Morning," I replied with a smile. "What has got you in a good mood this morning," she smiled. Tiffany was the poster girl for the girl next door. She stood a few inches shorter than me, which made her taller than most males in the building. She had a slim but athletic figure. I had seen her lift and carry things most men would grunt at or get. “Mom is almost ready for dinner and should be out of the bathroom shortly. I was just on my way out. I’ll say goodbye now in case I don’t see you tomorrow.”Even though Mom and I were now lovers, I did not feel any jealousy of her being with Rodrigo. Why shouldn’t she enjoy her last night on the island with him? Chances are, she will never see him again. Once our vacation was over, I knew we would again share a bed. I was also not so naive as to think that after this reawakening of my mother’s.
