Heat flooded my cheeks, making me feel hotter than the cherry on my shake. I glanced around, half-hoping Tori would come to my rescue, but the hallway door remained closed.

"It’s hypothetical," I hissed back, playfully kicking her under the table. "Totally hypothetical."

Millie squinted, clearly unconvinced, and leaned in closer until her curls brushed my forehead.

"Hypothetical my ass," she whisper-expected fiercely. "You’re blushing like a stoplight, and you asked that question like it’s been

    I pushed through the heavy front doors of Oakfield Mansion, instantly hit by the familiar scent of polished wood and fresh pine from the holiday garlands, wrapping around me like an embrace I wasn’t quite sure I wanted. Inside, the foyer was buzzing with a kind of organized chaos...maids darting around with garment bags slung over their arms, suitcases lined up like soldiers by the grand staircase, and Mom in the middle of it all, tablet in hand, directing everyone in that crisp voice she used when she needed things done her way. "Make sure Roderick’s navy tux is in the big black case, no wrinkles, and Atlas’s emerald suit needs its own hanger. And the shoes go in the separate pouch. We’re leaving first thing tomorrow for Hayseville; I don’t want any last-minute scrambling." One of the maids nodded and quickly dashed upstairs. Mom glanced my way as I walked in, her expression softening for just a moment before she realized it was me. "Atlas, honey...how was school?" Please, pleas

    I lingered in the library’s quiet long after Frank’s question hung in the air, feeling it settle around me like a weight I couldn’t shake off. The silence wasn’t cold or angry, it was just heavy, the kind that happens when two people who care about each other run out of safe topics to discuss. His hand was still loosely holding mine, and I could sense the slight tremor in his fingers, the effort behind keeping his voice steady. I forced myself to look into his eyes again, and before I could think too much, the words tumbled out, soft and sad and sincere. "For what it’s worth," I said, "my feelings for you haven’t changed. Not even a little." His eyebrows went up slightly, surprise flitting across his face. "You were my first love, Frank," I carried on, this confession feeling both enormous and inevitable. "And I still love you. I probably always will, even if it takes me a while to find the right words to express it. This whole situation I’m dealing with involving someone else? I

    Frank rubbed the back of his neck and let out a small laugh. "Wow. We’re really bad at this, huh? It feels like I’m on a first date with someone I’ve known forever." I couldn’t help but laugh too; it eased the tension just a bit. "Yeah. It’s... strange." He leaned in, elbows on the table, his smile becoming softer. "How’ve you been? I noticed you weren’t in school for two days. Perfect-attendance Atlas breaking his streak? I was kind of worried." I shrugged, trying to act casual. "I’m fine. Just... busy. Family stuff." He nodded, accepting my response even though I could tell he wasn’t completely convinced. Then he took a deep breath, as if he was psyching himself up. "I thought about texting or calling to check on you, but I wasn’t sure if that was... okay? I’ve never done the whole ’break’ thing before, so I’m kind of lost here. Figured it was better to talk face-to-face." My heart fluttered. Sweet, thoughtful Frank—always worried about boundaries, even when I was the one drawi

    Lunch with Millie and Tori usually felt like a safe haven...loud and chaotic, filled with overlapping stories and dramatic eye rolls that made the school day more bearable.But today, I found myself at our usual corner table, just picking at my turkey sandwich while their chatter faded into the background, kind of like noise in a coffee shop.Tori was animatedly recounting the latest rehearsal mishap from her band for the upcoming winter ball, something about the drummer knocking over a cymbal stand that crashed into the keyboardist’s amp...while Millie chimed in with sound effects and exaggerated gasps right on cue.I nodded along, giving the proper "oh no" and "seriously?" expressions, but my laptop was open in front of me, angled just so they couldn’t see what I was really focused on.And what I was really focused on was doing some deep digging into one Logan Carrington, a failed lawyer turned possible accessory to... well, something really bad.The more I read, the more questions

    He chuckled, low and warm, the sound filling the cramped space with those shelves of cleaning supplies and a faint lemony bleach smell. "Sorry. Couldn’t resist. You looked like you were on a mission, and I needed to borrow you for five minutes."I shot him a glare, but it was hard to stay angry when he looked at me like that—eyes bright, hair falling into his face, that annoying perfect smirk making my knees feel weak."You’re ridiculous," I muttered, but I couldn’t help smiling."Ridiculously hot," he corrected, stepping closer until the tips of our shoes brushed. "I guess I missed your little hamster ass."I rolled my eyes, but my heart did that fluttery thing again. "We’re literally in the same building. You’ll be fine."He leaned in, voice dropping. "Debatable."Before I could come up with a witty reply, his lips brushed against mine, soft, quick, teasing like he knew exactly how to short-circuit my brain.Like he knew just the effect he had on me.I melted into it for a second, h

    Millie blinked at me as if I’d really grown that second head after all. "Not a big deal? Atlas, you hate attention. You once hid in the bathroom for an entire period just because someone complimented your shoes too loudly. This is, like, your personal nightmare!"Tori nodded vigorously. "People are going to be weird about it all week. Asking questions, making jokes—""Yeah, I know," I stood up, slinging my backpack over one shoulder. "I’ve got class in ten. I’ll catch you guys at lunch, okay?"They stared after me, mouths slightly open, as I walked away. Millie called out, "Are you feeling okay? Did you hit your head or something? Should I do a reading?!"I just waved without looking back, keeping my head high as I pushed through the front doors.The truth was, after everything that had happened over the past few weeks, secret road trips, blizzards, late-night rendezvous, digging up ghosts from Rowan’s past...this was no big deal.Whispers about being step-brothers? No biggie. I’d sur
