The strange calmness that had permeated Marta earlier was gone. She was still calm, but her movements had more purpose to them. Lily began to fuss, but it stopped the moment that Marta gave her the bottle and she began to eat. She thought it was odd that she just seemed to know what to do. Maybe it was an unforeseen aspect of her wolf abilities.
Marta listened to the conversation between Cade and Hayden. It wasn’t really on purpose, but the close proximity and her supernatural hearing made it difficult to ignore. Marta felt a little bad for Cade. He had been thrown in the deep end really fast. She found herself hoping he’d give his brother a chance. So many lives were the better for his presence.
Ricky came out soon and he smelled clean. That was so much better than the blood. ”Ricky, come here,” she said.
Ricky was wearing sweatpants and a robe on the top. Marta guessed they had been right. Nox’s shirts were too small for him. ”What’s up?”
”Hey - the wolf is still,” she said and she could see that Ricky was glad for that. ”More on that later - I was wondering if I could stay here tonight. Wanna talk to Elyse and - just stay with Lily for a bit. I think Anna is staying here for a bit too. Please!”
”If Elyse is okay with it, yes,” he said with a laugh. That was as good as a yes. Elyse wouldn’t say no.
”Thanks! You should call Marisol and ask her on a date,” she said, before walking away, leaving Ricky standing in amazement.
Marta went behind the bar, walking around Hayden to grab a towel that she put on her shoulder. Lily was done eating, so she needed to be burped. Marta excused herself around Hayden again and then went downstairs to find the rest of the crowd.
