Indy explored her new home, it was close to the sea, the pool was indoor and the gym she asked for was on the lower ground of the house and fully air conditioned. The house had 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms including an en-suite in the master bedroom. Eli was good for the money, he was more than well off and she knew this.

"This is what your daddy bought for us baby boy." She said and kissed the top of his head she carried him around showing him his new surroundings, not that he was taking any notice he just smiled at her with his toothless head and was excited because she was.

Indy was quite a quiet person. She had been good at school, got the grades she needed to become a nurse, but didn't pursue any kind of career or further education with it because she fell pregnant with Darin. She had just one sister, Cara who was much more like her best friend. Cara was the older of the two of them and definitely the more dominant. Their mother and father lived In Italy as their mother was half Italian half Spanish and their father was African American, they fell in love with Italy and put down roots there. Indy hadn't visited them for a long time, Cara had, and she knew she should make more of an effort but she also knew that they disapproved of Eli, especially her father, and when she was 18 and completely in love with this man, she was not ready to listen to anyone.

Just as she put Darin down for his nap, and she was about to unpack her things that Reggie had couriered across for her, she saw the front door open and Eli walk in. She raised her eyebrows. "Eli this place is amazing..

He smiled. "I knew you would like it... listen, with the way that the feds are coming for me at the moment... I'm gonna need to move in here with you for a while.." he said to her.

A smile spread across her face as she couldn't contain how happy she was to hear that. "You're gonna live with me and Darin?... what about your wife?..."

He shook his head. "What did I tell you!.. when I'm with you we don't talk about her... I'll deal with mine.." he told her straight. "So how do you feel about having me this close?."

"You know how I feel but it still doesn't seem real to me.." she said.

"Well it is about to become all too real." He said pulling her to him and kissing her lips. "But, there is one thing that I am gonna need you to do for me..
She looked at him a little worried.
"I need to know immediately if the feds.. especially agent Collins tries to talk to you at all, at any time... is that understood...."

She nodded. "Eli, I would never give you up you know that right?... Collins has tried to pump me for information many times....

"I know but he is becoming more and more desperate to bag his ass a promotion... and that means he could try anything..."

"Is that why you're moving in with me... because you don't trust me?." She asked him, the hurt evident in her voice.

"I got a lot to protect... and you and my son are included in that!." He told her.
