5Raina.

There’s a kind of lie you learn to wear like perfume. Not too thick. Just enough to make people lean in, smile politely, and pretend not to smell the fire underneath.

That’s the lie I wore to Caleb’s mother’s birthday party.

The dress helped. It was pale yellow, had thin straps, and a soft cotton that clung in the right places without looking like I tried too hard. My hair was pulled up, loose tendrils falling down my neck. My lipstick was light.

I walked into the backyard like I hadn’t fucked his uncle twice in one week, like I hadn’t whispered Dominic’s name with my legs shaking and my back pressed to cold window glass just days ago.

I smiled at the right people, hugged the right cousins, ate a cucumber sandwich I didn’t want, all the while pretending I was just another ex-fiancée showing up with grace and no hard feelings.

Caleb looked surprised to see me.

Which was sweet, considering the party invitation came from his mother, a woman who still insisted I called her “mama”

1Daniel. Jake made the suggestion over eggs, casual as weather. Forked his last bite, pointed at nothing, and said, “Ava should just stay the rest of the summer.” Like generosity. Like a solution to a problem no one had named. The pan hissed behind me; I turned off the burner because I needed to finish something that wouldn’t get me in trouble. Looked at her, then at him, then at the window like maybe there’d be a note taped to the glass with the right answer. She smiled down at her plate, careful, as if the yolk might decide how this went.“It’s a long drive back and forth,” Jake said, pleased with himself. “She’s already here. We’re having fun. Right?”“Right,” Ava said, and it was both the smallest and truest word in the room.I rinsed the pan first before talking. “It’s up to her,” I said, even, like I wasn’t already coming apart in my head. “And her people. And her work.”“My people would mail me here if they could,” she said, light. “Work is… negotiable.”Jake grinned. “Then it

9Ava. Jake went out with friends and the house exhaled. The quiet afterward felt like a held note; even the refrigerator seemed to hum softer, like it knew better than to interrupt. Daniel did the dishes one plate at a time, not slow enough to be suspicious but slow enough that I noticed. I dried and put things away without looking at him too much, which of course meant I was watching him without looking, tracking him by the sound of the water and where his shadow moved on the wall. We didn’t say “good night” when the last fork was put away. We just… drifted into the living room, like the night had drawn a string from both of us and was pulling.He went to his chair by the window. I sat on the couch, polite distance, hands in my lap, ankles crossed, pretending I’d come for the lamp light and not for him. Outside, the lake was a wide piece of black glass. Somewhere far off, somebody told a joke and laughed at it alone. I could smell a wood fire that wasn’t ours. The air felt thick wit

8Daniel.I woke up pretending the day could be normal. Normal meant coffee at six, a list in my head before my feet hit the floor, the dock rope checked, the hinge on the porch door fixed, eggs at eight, the three of us moving around each other like a polite machine. Normal was predictable, and predictable was safe. But the thing about rhythm is that once you’ve felt a different beat, your hands start tapping it on the table whether you mean to or not.After the pantry, nothing in the kitchen looked the same. The flour canister, the jar of rice, the shallow dent in the doorframe at hip height; every one of them had a second meaning now. I wiped the counter with the usual cloth and thought about the sound she made when my thumb had been exactly where she needed it. I put the cloth back on its hook.We tried to behave. We were bad at it. She found excuses to be in the same square of tile. She’d “forget” her mug by the sink and come back just as I was rinsing mine, and somehow my fingers

7Ava. Jake was already in a mood before I knew we were having one.I was chopping strawberries for pancakes, and he was tearing through cabinets like he was looking for treasure he didn’t actually want. His hand passed the cinnamon three times before he slammed the cabinet shut.“You and my dad are getting… close,” he said, too casually.I looked over my shoulder. “We live in the same house. It’s small. Close happens.”He shook his head. “Don’t do that.”“Do what?”“Make me feel like I’m crazy for noticing things.”I set the knife down. “What things?”“You stand like him now,” he said, pointing with the spatula like he was tallying up evidence. “You fold the towels his way. You look for him when you say something funny.”“That’s not a crime, Jake.”“It’s not just you,” he said, eyes cutting away. “It’s him. The way he watches you. He doesn’t watch anyone.”“He watches the pump timer,” I said, because joking was easier than dealing with where this was going.“Ava.” My name came out sh

6Daniel. I woke up telling myself to keep my distance. I even believed it for a little while. Work helps. Chores help. Fixing small things makes me feel like the big things can stay under control. I made coffee, fixed the sticky latch on the porch door, checked the pump timer because I like the rhythm to be exact. Told myself I wouldn’t stand under her window again pretending I was listening to the weather. Told myself last night was a slip, not a pattern. Then Jake came down barefoot, hoodie half on, hair everywhere, stealing my toast before I’d even sat down.“We’re out of my sunscreen,” he said. “Can you take Ava into town? I promised Josh I’d help him with the boat trailer.” I told him he only liked that sunscreen because the label was blue. He grinned like I’d proven his point.Ava came down the stairs then, in a simple dress and light jacket, hair loose, looking more awake than I felt. She said she could drive herself if I gave her the keys. I told her I’d take her. Insurance,

5AvaJake said he was going into town like it was a big announcement. He’d gotten a text from a guy at the rental place about a pickup basketball game at the marina and burgers after. He was pacing while talking about it, juggling his phone, sunglasses, and a half-closed water bottle.“Come with me,” he said, kissing my cheek and leaving sunscreen on my hairline.“I’m staying,” I told him. “Headache. And I want to read without falling asleep after three pages.”“You sure?” He squinted at me. “Might rain later.”“It won’t,” Daniel said from the doorway. He was in a plain t-shirt and the shorts he seemed to wear every day.Jake grinned. “Science?”“Observation,” Daniel said.“Okay, professor,” Jake said, then looked back at me. “Text me if you change your mind. I’ll be back for dinner.”“I’ll help with dinner,” I said, glancing at Daniel.Daniel gave the smallest smile. “It’s something you can’t mess up.”“Doubt it,” I said.Jake kissed me again and left in his usual mix of noise and hu
