I didn't try to talk Alec out of coming with me to the Heavenly Estate. Truth be told, I needed his support to go back into that house. Going back was King's idea. If there was going to be a scene, he wanted it behind closed doors.
So, I put on a 50s retro dress with pearls and button earrings. Ever since the mountain, full skirts and fitted bodices were my jam when I wasn't busy taking care of Bea or working out with Alec. The ankle was still sore, so heels were out, but soon I'd add them to the ensembles. And, who knows, I might go all out and add some cute little hats as well. But first, I had to get through this evening.
King met us at the door. He didn't look pleased to see Alec with me, but he didn't turn him away either. In fact, the men shook hands. I sighed in relief. I only had the patience for one battle tonight.
