Adrian arched a brow. "Ms. Dalton, please."Jennifer frowned, asking quietly, "Is the person you like... someone in this house?"As she spokeShe actually started toward the closet.Adrian's expression darkened.He braced to rise, to cut her off.Milo burst out of the closet first. "Uncle, are you two done talking? Did you look at my homework yet? You still haven't told me it's good!"Adrian looked faintly defeated.Jennifer's expression went stiff. "...It was Milo."Milo tilted his head back, innocent. "Of course it's me, Auntie. Who else would it be?"Jennifer forced a smile. "Right, of course. Is Milo learning calligraphy now?"Milo nodded, then turned straight back to pestering Adrian. "Uncle, hurry up and look already. You promised and you still haven't. You know you're not supposed to lie to kids."Adrian let out a low "Mm."Said, lazily, "Alright, alright. I'll look in a minute."Jennifer said quickly, "I'm sorry for interrupting you and Milo. I'll head out now."With thatShe

Milo tugged Lily along, practically dragging her out the door.They made their way to Adrian's room.The door had barely opened.Adrian's sharp gaze lifted toward them.Milo, clutching his calligraphy practice in both hands, made a deliberate loop around him, twice. "Uncle, did you see it properly?"Adrian's eyes never left Lily.She tugged uncomfortably at the hem of her dress.Watching Milo pace back and forth, repeatedly blocking his line of sight, Adrian said, a touch irritated, "There's a toy pistol made from spent casings somewhere in the closet. Find it and it's yours."Milo had an odd fascination with anything military.The second he heard thatHe didn't waste a second.Dove headfirst into the closet.With Milo's chatter gone, a heavy silence settled."What happened with Robin's job?" Adrian asked.Lily sighed quietly to herself.We're already here.Might as well get what we came for. Even if Winston catches us, at least we'll walk away with an answer.Not a wasted trip, then.

Melanie: "..."Her smile froze, humiliation written plainly across her face.Some time passed before she found her voice.It came out trembling with tears. "Are you telling me the jewelry you bought wasn't for me it was for another woman? Wesley, are you keeping someone on the side?"Wesley's brow furrowed."Can you just stop talking for a second?" he said, impatient. "My head's pounding. Let me rest."Melanie stared at him, stricken. "Are you actually raising your voice at me?"He only closed his eyes, pressing two fingers to his temple, ignoring her entirely.This isn't the woman I remember.Melanie's never been like this.She was never this unreasonable.When did this happen?Exhausting.Grating.Like some bird that won't stop squawking.Fretting endlessly over nothing.Wesley felt genuinely worn thin.Where did the woman who used to feel like my closest confidante go?He let out a quiet sigh.Melanie wiped her tears. "Are you sighing because of me? Because I'm too difficult to de

Winston let out a grunt.Didn't expect civility out of her, after all this.Always going on about being "fierce," muttering about her temper like I don't already know what that's really code for.He grunted again. "Last time."Milo beamed.Grabbed Lily's hand and bolted for the door.Rosalind came down the stairs, smiling. "Look at that ever since Ms. Ashford arrived, Milo's been so much livelier."Winston's mouth turned down instantly. "Boys should be steady. What's the use of 'lively'? What's so great about running wild?"Rosalind said nothing, just smiled.Came around behind him.Began kneading gently at his temples. "He's still young, he doesn't understand things yet. At that age, all a child wants is to play. Let him have a couple more years of that."Winston didn't answer.Meanwhile.Lily brought Milo to the studio.Chloe immediately showered him with every snack she had on hand. "I'll come see you again tomorrow, Sister Chloe!"Chloe laughed. "You're only here for the snacks, a

An uneasy silence followed.Then Robin laughed and stood up.Prescott realized exactly how badly he'd misread the situation and all but wailed.Robin crossed the room.Scooped the baby up. "Ah someone needs a diaper change. Our little Pip's gone and soaked through."She lifted him by the ankles with practiced ease.Raised him up.Peeled off the old diaper and tossed it in the bin.Pulled out a fresh one.Tucked it beneath him, cupped his little bottom, and fastened the sides shut.Flawless.Prescott laughed, sheepish. "Here I thought I'd frightened him to tears.""Not even close," Robin said, smiling. "He's braver than that. He's just curious about strangers, that's all doesn't scare easily."Prescott nodded.Robin went to wash her hands, then came back to finish her breakfast.Prescott settled back into his seat.Snuck a few more glances at Pip.Pip balled his little fists, waved them at Prescott, and burst into giggles.Impossibly cute.Prescott sighed. "Everything really is cuter a

Knock knock knock.The door sounded again.Adrian said, low, "Come in."The door opened.Milo peeked in, cautious.Scampered to the bedside.Asked, worried, "Uncle, I heard Grandpa beat you again. Are you okay? Could you maybe just... behave yourself a little more?""See, whenever Grandpa gets mad, I just run back to my room so he can't catch me. Next time he loses his temper, you should run too."Adrian laughed.A single huff of one.His back screamed in protest immediately.Milo sighed like a little old man.Climbed onto a stool beside the bed. "Uncle, let me blow on it for you. That'll make it stop hurting."A cool little breath drifted across his back.It did, oddly, take the edge off the burning."I'm fine," Adrian said, voice rough. "No need.""It's okay, Uncle. Don't worry about me, I'm not even tired.""...You're overthinking this. I'm mostly worried I've caught tetanus from you."Milo: "..."He had no choice but to climb down off the stool.Settled himself obediently on it in
