PAIGE

"Marcus, the city is watching us."

"Let them watch."

I laugh as his hands find my waist again. The fairy lights strung between planters flicker above us. Candles burn low on the small table where we just finished dinner. Empty wine glasses catch the moonlight. The city sprawls beneath us, thousands of windows glowing like earthbound stars.

"You're impossible," I say.

"You love it." He spins me around. Pulls me against his chest. His chin rests on my shoulder. "Look at this view."

I look.

    HARUTO"Haruto. You're doing it again."Paige's voice. Soft. Concerned.I look up from my phone. She's standing by the bedroom door. Arms crossed."Doing what?""Staring at nothing. Ignoring me. Pulling away.""I'm not pulling away.""You've been quiet for three days. You barely ate dinner last night. You haven't touched me since Monday."I set the phone down. Run my hands through my hair."I'm fine.""You're not fine.""Paige—""Don't." She walks to the bed. Sits across from me. "Don't lie to me. Not about this."I look at her. Those dark eyes. Full of everything I don't deserve."My father's lawyer called.""When?""Yesterday. While you were at work.""What did he want?""He wanted to know if I'd visit. Before he died." My voice cracks. "I said no."Paige's face softens. "Haruto...""I said no, Paige. My father was dying. And I said no.""Why?""Because I was angry. Because I thought I had time. Because I'm a coward."She reaches for my hand. I pull away."Don't.""Don't what?""Don

    PAIGESunlight cuts through the windows. No curtains yet. Just glass and gold and the city waking up.I'm the first one awake.Haruto is on his back, one arm thrown over his head. Marcus is curled toward me, his hand on my stomach. Julian is at the edge of the mattress, his back to us, breathing slow.I don't move. Don't want to wake anyone.I just look at them.My three men. My impossible family. My home."Paige."Marcus's voice. Sleepy. Rough."Hey.""You're staring.""I'm allowed."He opens his eyes. Blue. Soft. "What time is it?""Early. Go back to sleep.""Can't. You're thinking too loud."I laugh. Quiet. "I'm not thinking anything.""You're thinking everything. I can feel it."He sits up. Rubs his eyes. Looks around at the boxes, the bare walls, the mattress on the floor."We need curtains," he says."That's what I said.""And a couch.""And a couch.""And plates that match.""And plates that match."He grins. "We're really doing this.""We're really doing this."Haruto stirs. H

    PAIGEThree weeks pass.The city thaws. Spring creeps in. Flowers push through cracks in the sidewalk. The world keeps spinning.Haruto laughs more now. Not the hollow laugh from before. The real one. The one that reaches his eyes."You're staring," he says."I'm allowed.""You're going to burn the eggs."I look down. The eggs are smoking."See?" He takes the pan. Slides the eggs onto a plate. "Distracted by my beauty.""Your ego is showing.""My ego is always showing. You're just finally noticing."Marcus walks in. Hair wet. Coffee in hand."Burned eggs again?""She was staring at me.""I was not staring.""You were definitely staring." Marcus kisses my cheek. "Can't blame you. He's pretty.""You're both impossible.""We're both yours." Haruto sets the plate in front of me. "Eat. We have plans today.""We do?""We do." Julian appears in the doorway. Grey eyes. Dark sweater. "We're going apartment hunting."I blink. "Apartment hunting?""For you," Marcus says. "For us. A place togethe

    PAIGE"It's done."Haruto says it to the ceiling. He's lying on the couch. Marcus and Julian left an hour ago. The cabin is quiet."It's done," I repeat.He turns his head. Looks at me. "I thought I'd feel different.""Different how?""Lighter. Free. Something.""And you don't?""I feel empty." He sits up. Runs his hands through his hair. "Like someone took everything out of me and forgot to put anything back."I move to the couch. Sit beside him."That's grief.""That's a terrible feeling.""I know." I take his hand. "But it passes.""When?""I don't know. But it passes."He looks at our hands. His thumb traces circles on my skin."Paige.""Yeah.""Thank you. For staying. For holding my hand. For making me eat toast when I didn't want to."I smile. "Someone has to."---HARUTOMy phone buzzes.Marcus: How are you holding up?Me: Empty.Marcus: That's normal.Me: Doesn't feel normal.Marcus: Grief never does. We're coming over later. Don't argue.I don't argue.Julian: Bringing food.

    HARUTO"Haruto. Wake up."Paige's voice. Soft. Close.I open my eyes. She's sitting on the edge of the bed. Already dressed. Black dress. Hair pulled back."What time is it?""Seven. The funeral is at ten."I sit up. The room spins for a second."You need to eat something.""I'm not hungry.""I know. Eat anyway."She hands me a plate. Toast. Butter. I take a bite. Then another."Marcus and Julian will be here at eight.""They're coming with us?""They're not letting you do this alone."I look at her. This woman. This impossible woman."Paige.""Yeah?""Thank you. For staying. For making me eat toast. For holding my hand when I can't hold myself up."She touches my face. "That's what love is."---MARCUS8 AM. Haruto's door.Julian and I stand outside. Both in black. Both quiet."You nervous?" I ask."No.""Liar."He looks at me. Those grey eyes. "I'm nervous for him. Not for me."I nod. Ring the bell.Paige opens the door. She looks tired. But steady."He's almost ready," she says.We

Twice. Three times.He stirs. Blinks. Looks at me."Hey," I say."Hey.""Your phone."He reaches for it. Reads the messages. His jaw tightens."The funeral home," he says. "They need answers. Today.""Do you want me to come?""Yes.""Then I'll come."He sits up. Runs his hands through his hair. Stares at the wall."I don't know what to tell them.""Tell them the truth. He was your father. He was complicated. You're doing your best.""My best isn't very good right now."I touch his face. Turn him toward me."Your best is enough, Haruto. It's always been enough."He leans into my hand. Closes his eyes."Stay with me," he says. "Through all of it.""Every step."---MARCUSMy phone buzzes at 9 AM.Paige: We're planning the funeral today. Haruto needs us. Can you and Julian come?I type back fast.
