Setting up A Last Stand

It took Malachi all of 1.6 seconds to identify exactly which direction the outsider was staring at them from.

Instead of acting out immediately, Malachi picked up Camille like nothing was the matter and brought her face ever closer to his.

"You might hear daddy use a couple of bad words… just close your eyes and don't tell your moms." (Luna & Sei)

Cami nodded and quietly placed her head on her dad's shoulder, her eyes alert and unusually serious for a baby.

'How do you want to handle this?'

Anna rested her head against Malachi's shoulder as she stared at Cami, making the three of them look like the perfect little family.

'We have a couple of options… how much exercise do you feel like getting?'

'Barely any, ever. But I'll do whatever if it gets us home quicker.'

Malachi smiled as he rested his head against Anna's.
