Alicia's POV

The law office was on the fourteenth floor.

    "Finish that sentence." My voice cut across hers. A beat passed. A shift crossed her eyes. Then she said it anyway. "Cleaned houses for people like us." The room went completely quiet. "My mother." I stopped. "Worked with her hands for people who believed that made her less than them. People exac

    Alicia’s POV The pen was in my hand. I hadn't moved since the door closed. The page in front of me, the same line, and now I knew someone had been observing me return to it, watching long enough to count each return. I had spent three years believing he never saw the parts that weren't performed.

    "He also mentioned Vera Sorel has made her attendance at the follow-up conditional on yours," I said, letting the other piece of the weight land between us. "He wanted me to know that." The pen halted in her hand. She took a breath, slow, through her nose, and the line of her throat moved once befo

    Edward's POV Phillip arrived at twenty past ten. He settled into the chair across my desk and set his coat on the arm of it. The draft was already in his hand before he opened his mouth. "Signed and filed as of this morning. Your name on the minority position. Clean." He set a single folded page

    "I don't know." "You said it to him. Not here." The pause that followed remained too long to be casual. "What are you afraid of?" I didn't rush it. "That I'm seeing it right. And it still falls apart anyway." She shook her head slightly. "That's not uncertainty. That's you refusing to close y

    Alicia's POV Elena didn't turn when I came in. She was at the counter, spoon hovering over a bowl she hadn't touched in a while. The kettle had gone cold long enough to feel intentional. My bag hit the floor by the door. She didn't look at it. "You came back wrong." "I came back two days ago."

    Edward's POV The estate was quiet when I arrived. Erily calm. I walked through the front doors. Set my keys on the console table. Marble, cold under my fingers. The chandelier fractured light across the foyer, illuminating nothing that mattered. And stopped. Vivienne sat in the sitting room. Ba

My suit jacket from yesterday dropped carelessly over the chair. The bed was unmade. A water glass sat on the nightstand, half-empty, dew ring marking the w

    Alicia's POV I fumbled with the keys at Elena's door. One of the grocery bags slipped, handles cutting into my palm. I shifted my grip, and got the key in, turned it. The door swung open. Warm air hit me first. Light from the living room. The TV was low on some crime show Elena wasn’t watching.

    Alicia's POV I stepped inside quietly. The door clicked shut behind me with a sound that felt more like breath than noise. No rush through the hallway. No tight shoulders. No frantic energy.
