Freya glanced at him, her eyes unreadable, then gave a quiet nod.
As the hour grew late, Ellis clicked off the bedside lamp and drew her close. He could feel it—Kristian still had

“What's on your mind?” Ellis asked casually.
Jesse kept his tone quiet, but his gaze was sharp. “Nina said Mr. Shaw wants to be her godfather?” Ellis nodded
once. “Yeah.”
