She thought of the bracelet tucked beneath her sleeve, with the gold and diamond heart and felt cozy inside, the way she had when they'd been snuggling last night. Contented, she gave a little sigh. "I heard that." Rose sidled up, keeping her voice low as Daisy, Iris and Magnolia chatted at the counter with Gemma. "I also heard a man's voice in the kitchen last night when I was trying to go back to sleep." "You're mistaken," Verbena couldn't help teasing. "It was the raccoon." "Right, you let him into the house, did you?" Rose's blue-green eyes twinkled playfully.
