Everly POV 

Something was going on with Macey and Kalen.

They had been joined at each other's hip for the last two days.

And it was always the same excuse, too.

They were dealing with the hotel renovations.

Yet as Kalen left this morning, I couldn't help but wonder because of the way Macey hung up abruptly on whomever she was talking to when I came out to make something to eat.

"Where are the kids?" I ask her as she starts packing belongings into her bag and why was she so dressed up? 

"Kalen and John dropped them to school," she answers with a shrug, trying to push me back toward the room.

"Go lay down, you’re on bed rest.I will bring your breakfast in."

"And Valen?" I ask her not hearing him get up this morning, usually he wakes me.

"Ah something about meeting the council elders with Marcus before they pick up Zoe," Macey answers as she shuffles me down the hall to my room.

Their constant fussing was driving me insane.

"Zoe is coming home?" I ask, feeling relieved.

She could have come home yesterday, but they kept her a n extra night so she could meet with a councilor this morning.

"Yep, and I think everyone is moving to the main packhouse today.Valen said something about organizing it," Macey says as I climb back into bed.

I stare at her as I pull my blankets back up and notice she is all dressed up, which I thought was odd.She was even wearing makeup.

"Where are you going? To see Tatum?" I ask her.

She chews her lip.

"Um, yeah, I was going to try to patch things up with him.Hopefully, he is in a better mood today." she says, yet her jitteriness made me nervous.

I couldn't explain why I felt that way but she seemed off.

She had for the last two days and with everything going on, it was understandable, but for her to suddenly hang around Kalen and my father? Two men, who for years she despised and now it was like they were all best buddies, it had me rattled.

She walks off, returning with a tray of tea and toast.

"Sorry, Valen," she sighs.
