Lucie smiled broadly.“Now that is a pleasant surprise.”
“I thought you’d like it.Now you can make the room your own.You’ll probably need to make a grocery list.Get whatever you need.I can have someone go to the store for you, too.”
“That’s fine, sir.We’ll see how much we need,” Lucie said.
He turned to Addy.“That goes for you, too.I have no idea what you need or what brands.The cleaning service brings their own.I don’t even know if we have a vacuum.Good luck trying to find it,” he said and chuckled.
“Don’t you worry, sir.Lucie and I will take care of everything.”
“Sounds good.”He looked down at his mate.“Are you ready to go check out our room?”
Jessica pressed her lips together.
“Uh oh, that’s her stubborn look,” Lucie said.
Jessica stuck her tongue out at Lucie.
“I’ll see what the problem is.I’ve got my ways of getting information ...or getting my way.”
He chuckled when the staff laughed, and Jessica snorted.
“Would you like dinner tonight?”Lucie asked.
He looked at Jessica.“We’re staying in tonight, but I’m not sure we have enough food.We could always call out for pizza.”
“We’ll see what we can do.What times are you thinking of for meals?”Lucie asked.
“Oh, Hell.I don’t know.I’ll discuss it with Jessica.”
“You might have a problem with that, as the girl seems to forget to eat sometimes.”
Jessica narrowed her eyes.“Tattletale,” she said to Lucie.
“That won’t happen anymore.I guarantee it,” Gideon said.
Lucie crossed her arms over her chest and nodded once.“Good.”
“Come with me,” Gideon said and led her up the stairs and into their bedroom.He watched her walk around the room and look out the windows.It surprised him when he felt a moment of anxiousness when she didn’t say anything.
“If there is anything you want to change, go for it.This is your house now, too.”
His shoulders relaxed when she turned, and he saw her smiling.As long as she was happy, he was fine.
