Look, I was trying to surprise your mom with a vacation. I booked a trip to Disney. Hotels, park passes, meals, everything. I was hoping she’d, we...l, maybe, I don’t know, if we got away from everything, maybe we could, I don’t know, try and fix things,” Nate said nervously.“Wow, Dad. That sounds awesome. I wish I could go spend a week at Disney! I’m so jealous! So when do you leave?”“That’s the thing, sweetheart. Your mother doesn’t want any part of it. She shut it down cold. Won’t go,. I want to avoid it completely as a matter of fact. I do not wish to start a war between the Union and The High Coven."Sadi stared at him for a long moment. "But you would ... wouldn't you?" She said softly.Andro looked at her. "If you or Carisia are taken from me Sadi, I would rain destruction and death down upon any who stood in my way of getting you back. If that meant I had to start a war? Yes, without a single hesitation."Sadi felt a shudder of desire course through her at his words. They. He took her hand and kissed it. “I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay with us. Joe, let me show you the way out.”Kylie blushed at Clint’s touch. She was totally unused to this courteous treatment and not unaffected by Clint’s powerful physique. When Dan took her by the elbow and led her she was halfway out of the door before she realised it.“By Joe, see you later.” she called.“Now look here,” Joe protested.“This way Joe,” Clint insisted, “Kylie will be fine.”Joe still protested but Clint took his. But I wanted it to be special too, so I said, "Let's go to the PortofinoInn in Redondo Beach, have you ever stayed there?"I had attended a weekend sales event to reward top-producers and the company paid for our rooms which were beautiful and romantic.It was right on the beach and you could see the ocean from the west-facing windows.Her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "REALLY! I've seen that place so many times and never went inside to see what it waslike because I didn't think they'd want.
