The girls and Evan came back, and they were all sweaty and out of breath. They all headed straight for the showers, and it wasn't more than ten minutes, and they all returned, ready for breakfast. The girls didn't need to be told. They picked up plates and started filling them.
"This really is quite a lovely way to start the day, I must admit," Evan said. "The run makes you feel alive, and then after the run, I'm ready for a full breakfast. I could get to like that a lot."
"Fix a plate, Lad," Edward said. 'There's plenty here."
"I intend to. So what are the plans for the day?" Evan asked.
"I'm taking your brother to see Clive for a new suit," Marcus said.
"Who's Clive?" Evan asked.
"Wizarding tailor in a rather hidden corner of a back alley in Venice."
"Venice?" Evan frowned. "As in Venice, Italy?"
"Yeah, not Venice, California, that's for sure."
"How do I not know about this place?"
"You haven't been hanging out here," Angus teased.
"That's going to change," Evan grinned. "I talked with Tara last night and I told her I was thinking we ought to put a caravan in your backyard." Angus laughed out loud.
"Well, you're welcome to, of course, but there is the new apartment building. Some of our singles and some of our couples are gong to be moving there because the rent's cheaper than the cabins. There are sure to be some cabins opening up. If you want a place here as a getaway place, there may soon be a cabin you could rent," Angus said.
"I want a safe place for my wife and kids to be able to get away from Tuscany, and this place is safe. It's beautiful, and it has my family. Why would I not consider it?" Evan asked.
"Good, we can see Evie and Faith," Anise said, sitting at the table. "So are you getting your mission wear, Evan?"
"Mission wear? What's that? And when are you lot going to stop playing cloak and daggers with me and tell me what it is you really do?" Evan asked.
"As soon as I get permission from Robert to tell you."
"Ginger and I don't know exactly either," Anise told him. "And I am not entirely sure Sam and Victor know."
"Well, I want to meet this Clive fellow," Evan said.
"Would you rather Evan and Marcus and I wait til you get back before we go see Clive?" Angus asked Ruby. He was specific to not tell the girls where Ruby was taking them. He was going to let Ruby handle that in whatever way she saw fit.
