Fated for Forever (Kindred of Arkadia #3)

"Marcus Evans dropped by again," Ashby said, sliding into the chair between Rebecca and his other friend, Kate Edwards. "That guy needs to eat out of a feeding tube for a while," Nic said, taking a French fry from what looked to be the communal fry plate on the table. Rebecca frowned and swung her head back to Ashby. "Did he hurt you, Ashers?" she asked, making sure she made eye contact. He looked away and shrugged. She grabbed the hem of his shirt and manhandled it up over his head. It got stuck around his ears, but she somehow managed to get his bruised arm free. "Kate! Look at this. That asshole Marcus Evans has hurt Ashby, we need to arrest him!" she said, waving Ashby's arm around. Ashby got his arm free and managed to pull his shirt down from where it had been lodged around his head and put his arms through the sleeves. "It's okay, Moe ran him off. Even Marcus isn't stupid enough to mess around with Moe," Ashby said grinning. "No kidding, Moe would eat him for breakfast before coming to you for his banana split," Nic said, laughing. Kate snorted. "Mojo," She chortled. "Kate, it can't still be funny," Bran said from across the diner, where he and Caleb waited for their order holding the trio's twin sons, Landon and Lucas. "Mojo, Jojo," Kate giggled. Rebecca, whose anger was fading, smiled. "It is kinda funny," Rebecca said.
