But here, they’re working smarter, utilizing their sharp minds to master technology, learn the rules of society, and become self-sufficient. They’re not just following their dreams. They’re laying the foundation for our future.

That also means they spend a lot of time on their phones.

“Leo.” I glare at the device in his hand. “Eat.”

“Monty’s working out.” He continues to stare at the screen. “Second time today.”

“I wish you wouldn’t monitor him.” I sip my vodka. “That’s not the point of the cameras.”

Installing cameras throughout Monty’s estate was Leo’s idea. The night I received those threatening messages, he suggested we set a trap for Monty.

At the time, I was willing to do anything to prove or disprove Monty’s guilt. So I withdrew money from my savings, invested in high-end surveillance equipment, and helped Leo discreetly hide cameras in every room Monty uses, including his bedroom and bathroom.

If and when I receive another threat, the recording devices will catch Monty in the act. But only if he’s home.

For two months, we’ve spent every day in town, away from Monty, all the while expecting something, anything to set off the trap.

Monitoring him without his knowledge doesn’t sit right with me. I can access the video footage on my phone, but I don’t. It’s a violation of privacy, and I want to remove it.

“It’s driving me crazy.” Leo pockets his phone. “It’s been two months and nothing. No threats. No strange behavior. Just…nothing.”

“It’s like he’s too careful.” Kody takes a bite of salmon, chewing thoughtfully. “Or worse, he’s playing us.”

“Well, I, for one, am glad I haven’t been terrorized.” I swallow a spoonful of soup.

“That’s not what we’re saying, love.” Leo frowns. “I’m relieved no one has fucked with you again. But we can’t let our guard down. Not until we’re sure.”

Kody nods. “We’re doing everything we can to protect you. Even if it means watching Monty’s every move.”

They’re not the only ones protecting me. Monty keeps guards on us at all times.

He also hired a self-defense instructor who came to the island to teach me the basics. The woman had a lot of energy and whipped me into shape. After finishing the eight-week course, I feel more confident in fending off an attacker.

“I had my first solo landing today.” Leo’s grin lights up his gorgeous face. “It was incredible. Being up there, completely in control, and actually knowing what I’m doing…it’s like nothing else.”

“I’m so happy for you.” My insides flutter with excitement. “I knew you’d do great.”

“That completes your recreational pilot certificate, right?” Kody asks.

“I still need to pass the exam, but yeah, I’m close.”

“Then on to the next certificate.” I squeeze his hard thigh.

“Yep. Bigger aircraft, farther distance, night flying, all the fun stuff.” He tilts his head, looking at Kody. “How’s the distillery coming along?”

“The renovations are almost done. We’re on track to start production in a few months. I’ve been experimenting with some new flavors.”

“Like what?” I ask.

“A North Star Cherry vodka with a hint of Alaskan wildflowers.” Kody winks at me. “And there’s a lemon one with spruce tips. It’s different, but I think it’ll be a hit.”

“I can’t wait to try them.” My heart soars for both of them.

They’ve come so far, each pursuing their dreams despite the shadows that haunt us.

We talk and laugh, the alcohol loosening our tongues long after we finish eating and pay the check. Kody tells more stories about the distillery renovations, his passion shining through. Leo teases him, his smile contagious.

I lean into Kody, tracing the scar on his palm. He closes his fingers, catching my hand and bringing it to his lips. “I love you, woman.”

“We both do.” Leo reaches across the table, his hand covering ours.

I close my eyes, savoring the warmth and intimacy of our bond.

As dusk darkens the window and rain spits against the glass, I excuse myself to use the restroom.

“I’ll be right there.” Standing, I point at the door five tables away and smooth down my dress. “You can watch me from here.”

They nod, their eyes following me as I walk away. I can feel their protective gazes even with my back turned, reminding me how deeply they care.

It’s a private restroom with a single toilet. I lock the door and do my business. Then I take a moment to gather myself, splashing cool water on my face and looking at my reflection in the mirror.

My mind drifts to the future, the dreams we share, and the life we’re building. Monty’s a vital part of that.

He can’t be behind those messages.

I’m starting to believe there’s no threat at all. Someone was just fucking with me, and they’ve moved on.

We need to remove the cameras before they cause actual harm to our family.

As I leave the restroom, a man steps into my path. His smile is crooked, his demeanor non-threatening, but his sudden approach raises my hackles.
