Though appreciative for her comforting touches, Cain felt himself resisting a cringe to feel his ears brushing against her chin. He shrugged his shoulder half-heartedly against her arm. “Oh okay. I guess that’s good.”
Ears flattened to his head when he caught sound of his father’s raised voice. An involuntary response. Cain let his mother pull him back towards her for a kiss on on his face but with some weak resistance. Her command to stay in his room didn’t bother him in the slightest, since that had been his plan all along.
The plan got even better when Jingles bounded into the room and made herself comfortable on his bed.
Owen’s back had been to Julianna when she entered the room. Distracted with the phone, he hadn’t noticed her entrance and whirled around at the sound of her voice. Cool grey eyes observed the expression in her face for a moment before recognizing the fury beneath. She wasn’t the only one who’d learned a thing or two about their spouse over the years.
He pointed an index finger sharply at her. “No. You are not.” Each word was punctuated and infused with his mandate.
Owen dropped to the bed and pulled his boots onto his feet. He swiveled the rifle to his side so he could sit comfortably. Haughtily pulling laces tight, he continued his orders, “You will stay here with Cain.” Owen switched feet bending low to pull the boot onto his foot. The left side was harder to manage than the right with his lack of knee mobility in the bulky brace that embraced his leg. He loosened the straps of the brace to bring his foot closer. Crepitation of the joint in protest filled the silence. “I will call Kent and he will come and sit with you if you are worried.”
There was no room for negotiation. His expectations wound as tight as boot laces.
