Her Obsession
Chapter 149
The smell of pancakes is the first thing that drags me out of sleep. Not the alarm, not the creak of floorboards, nope, pancakes and laughter. A lot of it. When I open my eyes, the sunlight is soft through the curtains, gold against the sheets. The sound of Diego giggling echoes up from the kitchen. There’s a clatter of plates, something thuds, and then Connor’s voice is heard, deep, patient and pretending not to laugh.“Buddy, we don’t flip them like frisbees.”I slide out of bed and tug on one of Connor’s shirts before padding barefoot down the hall. The closer I get, the more it smells like cinnamon, butter, and chaos. Naomi’s perched on the counter, eating berries straight out of a bowl. Liam’s leaning against the doorframe,with a mug in hand, watching Diego and Connor at the stove like it’s a high–stakes operation. In the middle of it all is Diego, grinning from ear to ear, wielding a wooden spoon like a weapon of mass destruction. There’s flour on his nose and a smear of batter in his hair, but the kid looks happier than I’ve ever seen him.When Connor spots me, his grin widens. “Morning, little ghost.”“Morning,” I say, leaning against the doorway. “You’re brave, letting him near fire.”
