Taryn could be twins. Those two are polar opposites and should be kept that far apart,” Tai said, glancing at Pule who nodded his head in complete agreement.
                  Cleo shook her head and frowned at Tai. “Actually I think they’d make good friends. Look at them, they’re both feisty, strong and smart,” she said, smiling kindly at Meredith.
                  Meredith smiled at Cleo, thankful she had someone in her life who would always have her back.
                  Asher nodded. “Don’t forget, they’re both gorgeous, too.”
                  Meredith turned her head and stared at Asher. He had been kind of flirty lately. Well, a lot flirty. And he had kissed her a few times over the past couple of months, but she hadn’t known that he thought she was gorgeous. She blushed and lowered her eyes, not sure how to take this sudden intensity coming from him.
                  Pule sighed and took a donut out of the box. “I guess you’re right, Cleo. Two women who are strong willed, smart, feisty and beautiful. Yeah, I’m sure that one time they got into a fight was just an anomaly. If they hung out, I’m sure they’d get along perfectly,” he said dryly as a small smile lifted his mouth.
                  Meredith threw the rest of her cupcake at Pule, hitting him squarely in the nose. Pule sputtered, laughing as he wiped chocolate off his face and Cleo and Tai stared at her with twin grins. Asher pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek.
                  “I’ve just decided that we better keep you and Taryn apart,” he said and let her go to grab a dishrag and hand it to Pule.
                  “I’m going to get you back for that,” Pule said, narrowing his eyes at her dangerously.
                  Meredith rolled her eyes and took a napkin and walked over to wipe a smear of chocolate off his chin that he’d missed. “You and what army?” she asked with an impish smile.
                  Pule surprised her and picked her up in his arms and ran with her into the family room where he dumped her on the couch and began tickling her mercilessly while she screamed and begged for mercy.
                  “ Stop! Pule, you better stop right this second,” she squealed as she fell off the couch and onto the floor as she attempted to crawl to safety.
                  Pule just reached over and pulled her back, as he continued to tickle her. “That’ll teach you to throw cupcakes at people. If you dish it out, you better be able to take it,” he said, growling at her.
                  Meredith wiggled out of his arms and was grateful when Asher pulled her up and out of Pule’s reach. “Thank you,” she said breathlessly as she grinned at Pule and stuck her tongue out at him. “Nice to know there are still men who will rescue a poor, innocent woman from the clutches of evil.”
                  Pule grinned slowly at her. “Until next time then.”
                  Meredith laughed and glanced at Asher who was frowning darkly at Pule. She blinked in surprise but when she looked again, he was smiling and helping Pule up from the floor. She must have imagined it. True, Pule and Asher hadn’t gotten along in the beginning but in the last couple of months they’d clicked and even hung out now. No way would Asher be mad at Pule for tickling her. Would he?
                  Meredith went back into the kitchen and cleaned up the rest of the scattered crumbs from the demolished cupcake.
                  “I’m meeting up with the band tonight to go over some new material so I’m going to take off,” Asher said, as he stood in the kitchen and watched her. “I wanted to hang out with you and talk business and throw around more ideas about the company but I forgot I’d promised Ivy I’d be there
