“Eh. Bored might be underrated.”
“We could travel,” Lach said.
“We could. But I’ve been everywhere. I’ve seen the world. Now I think I want to see what having a home looks like.”
“Sounds good to me. I like how it looks so far.” He winked at her, grabbed her hand, and kissed it.
“Me too, Soup.”
Lachlan chuckled. He lifted his arm and twirled her. “So, you want to stay here?”
“You mean at your place or are you talking about California in general?”
He shrugged. “I like my house, but it’s mine. I figured you’d want to start fresh. something we could both build together.”
“We’re kind of good at building things, huh?”
Lachlan nodded. “I’m pleased.”
“We have a good team.”
“That we do, Sunshine.”
“Elissa and Nash have done an amazing job putting it all back together.”
And they had. Between Elissa’s constant cheerleading and Nash’s practicality with the day-to-day operations, Watchdog was stronger than ever.”
Then she couldn’t help but laugh as she remembered the conversation the four of them had had the other day concerning turning over Watchdog.
“So, I was thinking. What if we renamed it?” Elissa had asked Lachlan.
Nash covered his face and shook his head. “Shug,” he warned. “We talked about this.”
“Renamed what?” Lachlan asked.
“The agency! New management, new name.” Elissa beamed.
“No.”
Her lips twitched in thought. “I was thinking maybe something like Watchlizard.”
Lachlan looked at Gina. “Is she serious?”
“Of course she's not serious.”
“I am totally serious.”
Lach sighed. “I'm not doing this.”
Elissa shrugged. “Fine. But Watchlizard is way better than something like, I don't know, Watchrabbit.”
Remembering the look on Lach’s face, she almost doubled over laughing and was glad when Lachlan held her up.
“I know what you’re remembering, lass,” he said, trying to hide his smile and look serious.
“Watchrabbit.”
Lachlan snorted, still trying to look serious. “Naming’s important business. Crucial to both boats and businesses.”
