“I’ve got no friends. Can I still tell you?” she asked, teasing.
Shaking his head, Peter went around to her side and helped her out.
Opening the door, he heard the commotion in the main bar room. Daisy was standing with one of the babies on her hip. William’s two boys were playing with a train set on the floor. This was not the BDSM part of the club, and William loved to have his children around him most of the time.
“Baby, it’s good news,” Daisy said.
“No, something is happening. This is not like the town at all. I’ve had three deliveries this morning, all without a hitch. Something is going on,” William said.
“What’s going on?” Peter asked, coming forward with Rose in his arms.
Daisy turned to them and smiled. “Peter, maybe you could talk some sense into him. He’s being difficult. And who is this lovely young woman?” Daisy asked.
Bringing Rose forward he introduced her to Daisy.
“Is she special to you?” Daisy asked, looking from Rose to him. There was a hesitant smile on her lips.
“She’s the woman I love.”
Daisy cried out, giggling. “Yes, I knew it.”
Before Peter knew it, Daisy had taken his woman and was introducing her to the children. Walking toward William, he waited for the other man to talk. “What’s going on?”
William turned to look at him. “The petition on my club has been withdrawn, and I’ve received three of my deliveries. I’ve also been sent some compensation for my troubles opening up the club. I don’t trust it.”
Peter smiled. “The town is changing.”
“No, a town doesn’t change this fast.” William was shaking his head.
Shrugging his shoulder, Peter glanced behind him. Rose had the other twin daughter on her lap. He watched for a few seconds as she played with the little boy.
“Cape Falls has never known an attack like this. Or if it has, the sheriff has never done what Gabriel did yesterday. You’ve got to trust it,” Peter said.
If the town was reaching out then they all needed to let down their guard and trust it.
“What are you trying to say? Trust them?”
“Not trust them but give them the benefit of the doubt.”

“Peter looks happy. I’ve never seen him so happy, not even when he was with Laura,” Daisy said.
Rose looked up at the red-haired woman. Daisy was so pretty, and the happiness glowed out of her. “Peter’s special. I love him with my whole heart,” Rose said.
“From the way he keeps watching you I’d say he loves you with his as well.”
Glancing up and toward Peter Rose saw that his gaze was on her. He didn’t turn away from her either. Her arms were wrapped around the baby on her lap.
Smiling, she pulled her attention away from him to focus on Daisy, who said, “I’ve been hoping for him to find a woman for some time. It’s nice to know that it’s you.”
“You’re all good friends?” Rose asked.
Daisy shook her head. “We’re more of a family. Peter’s been a little withdrawn of late. I think realising he’s not in love with Laura has been a huge help to him. He always had some excuse when we were all together. Dean loves to barbeque, as do the Steer brothers. He’s not been present for any of them.”
Rose listened, watching her man out of the corner of her eye.
“Well, I’m not going anywhere. In fact I’m supposed to be working here sometime soon.”
