The twins headed to the kitchen. Part of their daily routine was to set the table for dinner as soon as they came home from school.
“Dettol!” Edward whispered.
In the kitchen, Arden picked up Fox’s underwear from the floor and looked at him. Fox laughed out loud, but Edward felt too shamefaced. He took the underwear from Arden’s hand and pushed it into his pocket. “It’s marvelous the way they say my name,” he said, watching Fox wipe the table with a piece of kitchen paper and Dettol. “It means they can learn other words too.”
“Yeah, they were waiting for him to die before they could speak. We were all waiting for him to die so we could live.”
“All I was waiting for was you,” Edward said. Fox kissed him softly on the lips.
The twins washed their hands and set the table. Fox stuck his head in the fridge and took out a big pan of homemade bean soup, vegetables, and a package of tofu to start the dinner. With relief Edward sank down on a chair at the table to watch while everyone worked. He would help with the dishes later. That was something they did as a family.
“After dinner we’re all going to make a valentine’s cake, and we’ll eat it for our bedtime snack,” Fox said. “I got a great vegan recipe off the Internet. Is everyone up for it?”
“Sounds lovely, dear,” Edward said.

I grew up in Liverpool, England, with a great love of books and the English language. As an adult I moved to Canada, but I return to England to visit every few years to remind myself of my roots. I love writing and I love romance, so bringing the two together is a perfect fit.
Precious Jade
, my first published book, was inspired by a visit to the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, in early 2009. I have always had a fascination with assassins and could not resist writing about one in my series,
Angel and the Assassin.
