The guests didn't linger long after dinner, Caspian and Asher standing in the doorway to send them off.
"I'd be happy to have you all for dinner tomorrow!" Caspian said with a bright smile, waving them all off.
Asher wasn't as excited about the idea, looking forward to when their cars would all leave so that he could have his mate all to himself.
Jael was behind them in the foyer with Patty when his phone rang, he walked off to the side to answer, his expression changing.
Patty didn't notice, texting Rosie on her phone as she started up the stairs. She planned to drop by her study before retiring to her room for the night.
Jael slipped his phone back into his pocket, dark eyes distracted. "Asher, I need to talk to you about something."
Asher had just been about to lead his mate up the stairs so they could play games or watch a movie until it was time for bed but the look in Jael's eyes was concerning.
