reception desk and removed the coat. Damn, she was the cutest little thing he’d ever seen. And so determined to follow through her plan and return the dagger to its rightful owner, come what may.
    If I had half her determination, my to-do list would be one-quarter of the size it is.
    Amory clicked off the video and looked at the door of his office. It was propped over the entryway, leaning very much to one side. Brayden could damn well fix it this afternoon. He couldn’t risk it toppling over and hurting someone.
    He looked down again at the difficult e-mail and forced himself to concentrate. Amory pulled a notepad across to his right hand and jotted down important points as he read through it and then reread the e-mail a second and a third time. Then, from his notes, he began formulating a response.
    It was at least half an hour later when he was happy with his reply and hit send. Almost as if that was a signal, there was a knock on his door and two brawny hands appeared on the edges of it, carefully lifting it into the room. Brayden pulled a screwdriver out of his back pocket and began undoing the remaining hinge while Favian held the door upright for him. Elsie followed them into the room and handed Amory a plate with two thick salad sandwiches on it and a paper napkin. As soon as he saw the food, he realized he was damn hungry and began eating, watching his brothers as he did.
    “Is there anything here I could help you with while you eat?” Elsie asked hesitantly.
    “Hmrph?”
    “Are there files you’ve finished with that I could put away for you, or could I perhaps make you some coffee?”
    “You want to do my filing?”
    “If that would help you.”
    Amory ignored the filing as a waste of time. That was until he needed a file that he’d used a few months prior and he had to go through all the files sitting on top of the file cabinet looking for the one he wanted.
    “You’re an absolute angel. They go by the keyword on the outside of the folder, and then by date order within that, latest one at the front. Some of the folders over there might be out of order,” he finished a little guiltily, pointing to the towering stack of unfiled paperwork on the cabinet. He kept meaning to ask someone to do it, or even to do it himself. It just hadn’t happened. He was too busy.
    Elsie smiled at him and walked across to the filing cabinets with an armful of the files he’d indicted from the corner of his desk.
    He looked over at the door. Brayden had both the hinges off and was comparing screw sizes with a handful from his pocket. Amory ignored them all, took a huge bite of his sandwich, and went back to work. He was vaguely aware of his brothers leaving, but by then, he was deep in yet another complicated matter. It was only a long time later when a cup of hot coffee appeared on his desk, and the empty plate disappeared, that he looked up into Elsie’s face.
    “Is there anything I can do to help?” she asked.
    “That filing will take you weeks,” he said, smiling back at her and looking over to the cabinets.
    Everything was gone from the top of the cabinets, and it even looked as though she’d dusted them or wiped them down. They were clean. She couldn’t have possibly filed everything correctly and put the folders in date order as well. He was going to find everything all messed up. It’d take him forever to tidy it properly.
    Except it already was a huge time suck because it was all out of order, so he had no grounds to complain.
    “That’s amazing, thank you,” he said.
    She nodded and left the room. As soon as he was sure she was gone, he raced over to the filing cabinet and pulled out a file he knew would have several entries over the past six months. Each was in order, newest at the front as he’d told her.
    That must be just a fluke. He thought a minute, checked another one, and then a third. All of them were correct.
    Well, fuck. She is a miracle worker.
    Or maybe I’m just too tired and slow.
