€œI can€t help you if you don€t talk to me, Emma.€
She shook her head. €œI can€t. It€s too risky.€
€œWhat is it? Did you do something illegal? I can help. My brother€s a lawyer.€
In an effort to change the subject she smiled. €œI thought he was a cop.€
Clovis shrugged. €œNot a cop exactly, but€¦he€s both€¦I mean, they are. I have seven brothers.€
Emma€s eyes widened in shock. €œGood god.€
Clovis€s grin widened. €œYeah, I get that reaction a lot.€
€œNo sisters?€
€œWe used to think Heathcliffe was gonna turn out to be a girl.€
€œHeathcliffe Honeybun? Really? I thought Clovis was bad.€
The expressive, blond eyebrow peaked again and she laughed. €œSorry. That came out wrong.€
€œNo, it€s okay. We€re used to it. Our mom has a strange sense of humor.€
€œA mother with eight sons, it would be that or electric shock therapy.€
Clovis snorted out a laugh. €œThat€s good.€
She didn€t want to smile at the note of approval in his voice. But she did anyway. She couldn€t seem to help herself. €œSo why did you think Heathcliffe was going to be a girl? Is he gay?€
€œNope. But it took him a really long time to stop acting like a baby and man up.€
€œA late bloomer, huh?€
€œYeah, he didn€t get interested in a football until he was five.€
€œFive? Egad!€ She couldn€t help chuckling.
His grin made her stomach jump a little. €œKeep laughing, but when you€re the last of eight boys you need to grow up fast. If only so you can survive meal times.€
She forced a frown onto her face. €œI can see that. Besides, he really dragged his feet.€
Clovis nodded. €œS€truth.€
