Nova Samson and dad showed up right at the same time along with Everlyn and Jessica, Samson’s mate. It had been so long since I had seen her and she was so excited to meet Jaxen. I knew Everlyn and Jessica would get along just fine while they kept Jaxen entertained. I didn’t want to talk about the gruesome details with innocent ears around. “Look at how cute these clothes are!” Everlyn gushed. “We are doing a fashion show while mommy talks to the men.” She carried an infatuated Jaxen into the bedroom with Jessica who had brought him a literal closet full of clothes. Jax was loving the attention of two beautiful ladies and didn’t seem to mind being carried to another room. “Take pictures!” I called after them. “Alright nova,” Samson said. “Start from the beginning.”
