**Adrian's POV**

    Amara's POVSaturday morning.Noah had announced this at breakfast with the efficiency of someone who had been planning since Wednesday."The Carver Academy extension," he said. "We start today.""The school doesn't open until January," Adrian said."The survey doesn't wait for school to open," Noah said. "The survey needs to know the route before I walk it every day."

  • His contract Bride, His secret child    The Coverage

    Amara's POVThe announcement went public at four PM.Not because we planned it for four.Because by the time Adrian was at the gate at three fifteen and Noah had come through the doors at three seventeen and we had walked the three blocks home and Noah had assessed the horizontal crack and found it stable and we had come inside and Adrian had called Thorne to confirm the release timing, it was four PM.Which meant the announcement happened after the gate.As it should.Thorne had not complained about the timing.He had said: "The announcement will go out at four PM following the gate."Like it was a scheduled sequence.Gate first. Announcement after.The correct order.Noah had been home for twenty minutes when his phone notification went off.He had a news alert set up.For significant events.I had not known about the news alert.I found out when he looked up from the low table and said: "The announcement is live."Adrian looked at me.I looked at Adrian."You have a news alert," I
