The front door swung open, letting in a gust of late winter afternoon air, the clatter of school shoes, and the shrill chatter of Carter before he even stepped inside.

“Monet!” Meredith called, backpack slipping off one shoulder as she barreled into the house. Her hair was loose from its braid, her cheeks flushed pink from the walk. She didn’t notice Juliet at first—her eyes were locked on Monet, arms stretching for a hug as if the day had been unbearably long without her and she had a story to tell.

Carter followed more quietly, hardly taking off his coat. He dropped his bag near the entryway, but his gaze flickered instantly toward Monet, a big grin on his lips.

“You didn't bake ?” he asked, his tone accusing, but his small hand slid into hers without thought, the gesture instinctive.

Monet bent down, her arms wrapping around both of them with trembling relief she tried to mask. The warmth of their embrace filled the hollowness Juliet’s words had left in her chest. She pressed her

    The door shut behind Juliet with a finality that rattled the picture frames. Silence pressed into the living room, thick and unbearable. Meredith’s small sniffle cracked it, and the sound seemed to break something in Richard all over again.Monet sat stiffly on the couch, arms still wrapped around the children, her cheek pressed into Meredith’s hair as though sheer willpower could shield them from the venom Juliet left behind. Richard paced like a caged animal, his fists raw and trembling. Zoey scribbled silently, her pen the only sound besides the uneven breaths of a fractured family. “I'll have you arrested. Have your permit revoked, this wasn't court appointed and you invaded and helped to bully my children in their own home.” Zoey Michaels looked at him, completely unfazed, till a sad smile appeared on her lips. “I'm no match for Juliet Pendleton and I don't think you are as well.” Richard flexed his raw fist, his tie undone—his hair sexily rumpled from s

    Richard’s fists curled at his sides, the split knuckles reopening from the pressure. A bead of blood welled along his skin, and the sight only sharpened the thrum in his temples.“You come into my home,” he began, his voice deceptively quiet, a storm coiling beneath it. “You stand in her living room—” his eyes cut toward Monet, not Hannah’s ghost—“and you dare bring a caseworker with you like I’m some delinquent father to be audited?”Juliet stiffened, but Richard didn’t give her the chance to respond.“Don’t you dare stand there,” his voice rose, sharp enough to make Meredith flinch, though he immediately softened when he glanced at her, “and belittle the woman who has done more for these children than you ever have.”The last words snapped, venomous, and the room seemed to tilt with the force of it.Juliet’s eyes widened, her composure cracking for the first time. “How dare you—”“How dare I?” Richard’s laugh was harsh, broken. “You send messages you know I won’t answer. You whisper

    LATER THAT AFTERNOON.......Juliet Pendleton stared at the family portrait over the mantle with watery eyes, her heart in her throat. The house stood as it had four years ago when her daughter was still alive. Zoey Michaels had since begun her inspection of every room in the house, leaving Juliet to wander and remember different items from four years ago when Hannah had been alive and the sole inhibitor of every single crease of Richard's heart and home.With the help of Monet, Richard had kept her daughter’s memories intact. Not a single item or memorabilia had anything to do with Monet, save for a small photo frame with just her and the kids, probably at a theme park; the colors faded, but their smiles were too bright to ignore.A fist of uncertainty attacked Juliet’s gut, sharp and insistent, but she shoved it down. Hard. This was not the time to waver. Hannah, who'd died so early because of Richard's negligence, deserved someone to fight for her memories and the childre

    TWO DAYS LATER......The washer had just been filled with a load of laundry when the doorbell rang, echoing in the house's quiet.Monet froze in the hallway. She wasn’t expecting anyone, and the kids and Richard had been gone for hours.Her heart lurched in her chest as she walked towards the door, pulse hammering in her ears, for once angry that the door didn’t have a peephole. The security cameras were in the guardhouse and Richard’s office, and she had always taken comfort in knowing no one could slip through unnoticed. Still, she approached with dread gnawing at her ribs.The thought was confirmed when Juliet Pendleton stood on the other side of the open door with another woman.“Hello, Mrs Abbott.” Juliet greeted in a cheerful tone—betraying the cold, calculating look she wore.Monet swallowed once and then again, her palms growing sweaty with trepidation. She suddenly felt inadequate in her dirty black leggings and T-shirt, seeing as both women were decked out—Juliet in an emera

    The drive home stretched longer than it should have.Monet’s hands tightened on the steering wheel, her pulse a steady thrum against her wrist. She forced her eyes on the road, even as the words Juliet had left behind dug sharp barbs into her chest.Carter hummed to himself in the backseat, swinging his little legs. “Can we have spaghetti tonight, Mommy Monet? Please? With the cheesy bread?”His innocence was a balm she wanted to wrap herself in. “We’ll see, sweetheart,” she managed, forcing her voice light.But Meredith hadn’t spoken once. Her gaze burned through the rearview mirror—quiet, steady, too old for her years. When she finally spoke, her voice was low and certain.“Why does Grandma Juliet hate you?”The question sliced through the air, clean and merciless.Monet’s throat closed. She swallowed, her grip faltering on the wheel. “Meredith…”“She does,” Meredith pressed. “She talks like you don’t belong with us. Like you’re pretending.”Carter frowned, confused. “That’s not tru
