being around the kids.”
    Molly looked horrified. “I loved my job. It took me forever to find it, and I was so sad to leave. It’s lucky that I lost it. I would have been crushed to leave to move here for Kellan. At least this way, the decision was out of my hands.”
    “So you’re looking to move here. It’s a great little town.” Erin leaned forward. “The only thing it’s missing is a preschool. Not to put you on the spot or anything, but this is just too perfect.”
    “What? I think I missed a part of the conversation.”
    Erin laughed. “No. I’m just skipping around. See, Owen is the alpha of the Brooks Pride. They’re fixing up the farm and the cubs are getting in the way. I’d watch the kids, but I work from home as a graphic designer. That ‘girl I knew in college’? Yeah, that was me.”
    “You hate kids?”
    Erin looked sheepish. “I don’t hate kids. I can’t wait to have some of my own, but that many kids at once is too much for me. And the cubs are so rambunctious. I can’t work and watch them. We tried to take them to Miss Maple’s preschool, but she has no spots left.”
    “I’d have thought in a town this small, it wouldn’t be a problem.” Molly thought back to her research on the town. “There aren’t that many kids here to begin with. It’s basically a retirement community.”
    “I know.” Erin sighed. “We’re trying to turn that around, though. It would really help to have another person working at Miss Maple’s. She could take in more kids if she had some help. Maybe you could go down and check it out?”
    “I’ve never watched shifter kids before, but I would like to have a job. I would be so bored sitting around while Kellan worked.”
    “You would. We’re way out of town. At least when you’re in town, you can grab a coffee a Frank’s or have some soup at Two Wolves. You’ll always have someone to talk to. Out here we have to keep ourselves busy.”
    “Bet you drive that spiffy little car into town all the time.”
    Erin shook her head. “I still can’t believe he bought that for me. I’ve never driven anything like that. Owen’s so generous.”
    “He seems really nice. It makes me relieved that Kellan has good friends.”
    “Kellan’s a great guy with great friends. You seem nice too.” Erin smiled at Molly. “I’m glad to have another LK Bride in town. At least I won’t seem like such an odd duck now.”
    “Are we the only two?” Molly asked.
    “For now. I know a lot of the men in town are signing up. They aren’t all talking about it, but Olivia is a very busy lady.”
    “Isn’t she great? She was so nice when she called me about Kellan.”
    “Hoping it does some good.” Erin sighed again. “I’m sure you’ve heard about the American Shifter Weekly list we’re trying to make.”
    Molly shook her head. “Not at all.”
    “Really? Kellan’s pretty excited about it now. He’s just thinking about all the tourists the hotel will get if we make it.”
    “So what’s this list?”
    “ASW has a list of the best shifter towns in the country every year. Sunset Falls made the list back in the fifties. Owen is spearheading the campaign to get us on the list again in the next three years.”
    Molly was impressed. “That sounds great. It would turn Sunset Falls into a tourist town. You guys have the perfect downtown for it. So quaint, and perfect for strolling.”
    “Yeah, but it’s going to take a lot of work to whip this place into shape.”
    “Because it’s a retirement community?” Molly guessed.
    “Exactly. Shifter towns are big on family. We have a great community, but it isn’t family friendly right now. We have way too many single men. If we could get more married couples and young families in town, it would balance our aging community.”
    “That’s going to take a lot of work,” Molly agreed. “I think having a world-class preschool will help out with that, though.”
    “I hope so.”
    The front door opened and closed
