“Yes, I’ll come with you,” Charlotte said.
“Oui. I go with Charlotte, me.” Bastien nodded.
“Great!” Tate said, with an enthusiastic bob of his head.
Foster chewed the inside of her cheek and shifted uncomfortably. Charlotte and Bastien had agreed, which was fantastic. Well, maybe not super fantastic. Who knew what kind of weird quirks the two of them had. But they would be safe. All of them. Together.
Charlotte dug the toe of her shoe into the sand. “Umm. How are we getting to this Sauvietude place?”
“And what is it?” Bastien asked, scrubbing his hand down his tanned bicep.
“Well, that’s part of the long story.” Tate’s chipper ease reminded Foster of a museum docent, which wasn’t too far off since they probably qualified for their own exhibit by now. “How about we hit the road and explain things as we go?”
When Charlotte and Bastien hesitated, Foster added, “Or you can hang around here and wait to see if the Fucktastic Four blow back to shore.”
“No.” Wet, blond strands brushed Charlotte’s shoulders as she shook her head. “I don’t believe I’d like to do that.”
“All right then, let’s get out of here,” Tate said, taking Foster’s hand.
As they sloughed through the wet sand back to the parking lot, Linus Bowen ruffled the singed fur on the top of Bugsy’s head. “Good thing I’m a rich old man. Let’s get ourselves onto my plane and take a little trip. This family’s growing like fleas on an old dog.” Bugsy barked once, and Bowen chuckled. “Oh, not you, ol’ girl. You’re too sweet for fleas. Gotta get these kids to their fortress, though. Life just gets more and more interesting, doesn’t it, Bugsy? And I can’t wait for what’s coming next…”
The end … for now
