JAMES
The following day, Aurora went out again and left young Arthur in Destiny’s care. I wasn’t very happy about that. We didn’t sign up to be permanent babysitters to the kid, although he was cute enough. Aurora was secretive about her line of work, and, well, judging by how late she came in, I think I had a pretty good idea what she was up to.
I stayed up late that evening. Destiny and Arthur had already gone to bed, and I opted to wait for Aurora. I wasn’t about to give her a key and the password for the alarm to come and go as she pleased. I didn’t trust her or know her well enough to do that. It was near midnight, and she still wasn’t back yet. Damn woman was going to get a piece of my mind.
As soon as she walked through the front door, I called her into the lounge. “Mind if we had a word, Aurora?”
“James! You startled me!” she faked a gasp.
