passed the balloon.
    It was only Connor and he just came home after working over at Jenny’s. He looked at her laying on the couch and a smile etched itself on his lips; her smile. Through their bond, he became overjoyed to see her again. He spoke with a deep and masculine voice as his predatory eyes took her in. “How are you feeling today, Princess? Do you need anything?”
    She pushed her self back on the couch and lifted her feet. “I wouldn’t mind one of your spectacular foot rubs, my Knight.”
    He kicked off his wet shoes and walked over. He sat down on the sofa and she laid her feet on his lap. As he began rubbing her feet she could help but moan in relief and dropped her head on the pillow . Then he b egan using sonar as he rubbed her feet. He had gotten into the habit of doing that r ecently. He loved looking at their children so she closed her eyes to enjoy the r elaxing touches he was giving. She felt his pulses cease and cracked an eye to see him having a knowing smile as he worked. He’s looked giddy for some time, but he won’t allow her to know what he’s learned. Oh well. Sarah closed her eyes again. She made her self a little more comfortable.
    Connor then began speaking casually. “It seems like the last major winter snowstorm is gone for the year. I’d give it three more days until we have another minor flurry session . T he stream by the house just needed a few pieces of ice to be broken away to flow free once again. Hopefully by tomorrow morning I can reattach the waterwheel and start charging the batteries without using the bike or the generators. I’ll also remove the remaining snow on the roof and…” at the time he stoppe d speaking he stopped rubbing her foot. She reopened her eyes and looked down. Something changed in his emotional climate .
    Hi s eyes were sharp and focused on something other than what he was looking at. His strong jaw became set a n d his jaw muscles were clinching. Large muscles beneath the winter clothes tense d and his nose slightly flared. She would know that look anywhere. Connor’s preparing for something. She pulled her foot from his grasp and managed to sit up safely . She whispered “Connor, what is it?”
    Without looking at her he said ominously “Something’s coming …no several something’s. My instinct is telling me something strong is headed towards us. ” He turned his head towards the new room, but he look ed up. “Stay here.” Her heart started racing from this unseen threat that ha d Connor’s defenses going up.
    Sarah wanted to follow him as he stood up, but his words meant more than Stay here . He really meant Don’t move and stay safe . Her mate walked over to the desk by the door and he pulled out Tool and he held it with white knuckles. He didn’t look scared, he was dangerous right now.
    Apparently whatever it was is moving quick ly to their home. Connor reacted by running to the front door. He jumped in his boots a s he grabbed the handle . She then felt a min d trying to enter her mental barriers. Both Connor and Sarah stopped moving and breathing. It was a very strong mind, but a familiar one .
    “Connor, Sarah? Are you home?”
    Sarah was the first to communicate back. “Veronica? Is that you?”
    The mind soothed at being acknowledged . “Indeed it is, my friend. I can see your home. W e are coming in from east . ”
    “We? Who’s we ?” Connor asked without moving his lips .
    Then another and more ancient mind could be felt by both of them . “Come outside and see for yourself, Little Brother.” Then the mental link severed .
    Connor’s eyes met hers and she saw his defenses drop with the sigh he blew through his nose . The other mind was from his older and differ ently looking brother. He slid Tool in his belt loop and s ighed in relief. He smiled at her and offered out his hand , after walking over to her side .
    Sarah smiled back and took his hand. He helped her to stand up. They walked over to th e front door and
