Somewhere in the back of her mind, Paige did realize that something was off. She slept alone these days, maybe with one of the kids if she was really unlucky. But she couldn’t turn away from the comfort of a body beside her and a part of her wanted to believe it was Lucas. There was always going to be a part of her that missed him and wanted him back, no matter how many times she told herself it was time to move on, she wanted to move on, to explore something new with someone new who she did really like. Someone who liked her back and even more importantly adored her kids, didn’t seem to have a problem with doing the dating thing with them around and hadn’t been scared off by the possibility of being their dad in some version of the future.
It didn’t occur to her that he might be the one there when she woke up to one of the kids fussing, a little too close she thought distantly, wondered if bedroom doors had been left open, and turned to curl into the body beside her.
“It’s your turn,” she murmured. “I was up half the night.” Not with the babies, though; she’d spent hours putting up magical protections around the whole house, every door and window warded against intruders, to make the young man who wasn’t quite hers feel safer after whatever had happened during his trip home. She wasn’t asking and he wasn’t telling, but she wasn’t going to let anyone under her roof wake up in a panic if she didn’t have to and a few spells was the least she could offer the boy who otherwise caused no problems.
