Haru
Twenty minutes later, we arrived back at the apartment, and the moment Aiden and I stepped through the front door, Noah asked, “What took you so long? I was worried sick.” He was talking to me, of course.
“Something happened,” I said. “Didn’t Aiden tell you?”
Noah said, “He did, but I’m still worried.”
Aki rushed off into the living room, and we followed him in. Aiden said, “Your boss and his family are coming to our housewarming party.”
“What? How? When?” Noah asked, looking flabbergasted.
Aiden chuckled. “Haru found their dog Toby along the street, injured.”
“I returned Toby to them, and then Aiden came to pick me up,” I said.
Noah raked his fingers through his hair. “Really? They’re coming? Fuck!”
“Yeah,” Aiden said. Then he frowned. “You don’t look happy about that.”
“No, it’s not that... Is it just Nicolas or...?”
Aiden said, “Everyone in the family I’m guessing.”
