    The engines went quiet at six. The hull met the pier. The crew moved above us. River light came through the porthole, grey and silver, crossing the ceiling in slow panels. She was on her side facing me. Her hair across the pillow. Her mouth softly parted in the way that belonged only to sleep. I

    Edward’s POV The hull rose and settled with the slow pull of the river. I lay in the dark with my jacket on the floor and my shoes beside it and listened to the boat. The timber. The joins. The engine below running its low faithful count. The porthole showed clouds. The moon behind it traced the

    "I fell off a bicycle when I was seven," I said. "Broke my arm. The left one." "You're afraid of the dark," he said. "You sleep with the curtain open so the street light comes in. You never told me directly but I worked it out in the third month." I set down my wine. "You remember that." "I remem

    Alicia's POV The dress arrived at four. I found the box on Elena's table. Black paper, no ribbon, his handwriting stark on the card: The water. Inside, folded in tissue, was the black silk from the wardrobe at the estate. The one I had left hanging there. I showered. I pinned my hair up. At seve

    Edward's POV The grey light filled the room. Alicia's leg lay across mine, heavy with sleep. Her hair spread on my shoulder, across the pillow.

    Alicia's POV He was on the floor. I looked at him until the silence found its shape. He looked back. The full version of him. Just Edward on the floor, his eyes on mine, waiting without arranging what he was waiting for. "We never chose each other," he said. "Let me choose you." "Then start,"

    "You bullied her." My voice low. Controlled. "In high school. At Millbrook Prep." "I didn't…" "You called her a charity case." "Edward." "You tormented her." Lucy's eyes darted to Sienna, back to me. "She's lying. I don't even remember her." "You don't remember?" My voice rose. "You don't reme

"I told myself I was wrong," my father said. "That I was seeing problems that weren't there. That you wer

    Edward's POV Twelve forty. The elevator opened into the penthouse. I stepped out and the first thing I registered was Lucy. She stood near the dining table with Vivienne, both mid-conversation. The sight of her triggered something immediate—regret, sudden and sour. I stayed where I was. Keys i
