My Precocious Triplets Brought me a Husband For Christmas 033
Silence had weight.Peter sensed it the instant he shuttered the front door behind them not brash enough to make itself known, not cutting enough to cause harm, but there all the same. It seeped into the house like twilight, gradually and unavoidably, occupying nooks and crannies that sunlight never exposed you to.The house smelled like lemon and something warm garlic, perhaps. Dinner. Normal. Domestic. The type of night he had been dreaming of for years and had never quite believed his dreams might come true.He pulled off his tie, dropped his keys in the bowl near the door, and tracked the soft stirrings of life to the kitchen.Stephanie was now at the counter, sleeves rolled to her elbows, hair loosely tied Back. She looked composed. Focused. As if nothing could ruffle her. Like so many times before when she needed to present herself as unruffled.“You shouldn’t have cooked,” he said kindly.She looked around, smiled. “I wanted to.”Not I had time.Not I didn’t mind.I wanted to.

The email came in at 6:42 a.m. Not loud. Not urgent. Not even labeled important. It half pushed, slid and rolled into her inbox with the quiet confidence of something that just assumed it was going to be read at some point. Stephanie only spotted it because she was awake earlier than usual. She lay very still in bed for a moment, listening to the house breathe, pipes ticking softly, a distant hum from the refrigerator, the faint shift of Peter beside her as he turned in his sleep. His hand lay at her waist, loose, unguarded. Trusting. That was still new. She reached for her phone without moving the rest of her body. Old habit. Lawyer reflex. The need to check before the world gets the jump on her. The subject line read: International Compliance Notice, Review in Progress. Her thumb stilled. She told herself it meant nothing. Banks sent those all the time. Automated systems flagged things constantly, duplicate charges, expired credentials, dormant accounts roused by paperwork errors. S

Stephanie was midway in the process of reading a deposition transcript again when her phone buzzed.Not rang.Vibrated.A subtle interruption that managed to bypass the conscious defenses until the body felt it.She didn’t go for it straight away.She kept her eyes on the page, but the words started to blur not because they were too hard, but because something in her chest constricted with a hushed, expectant feeling that wasn’t quite ready.“You’re tired,” she said to herself.In the late afternoon the house was silent in a provisional kind of way. The kids were upstairs, Tyler locked in his bedroom, Bryan half-listening to a video, Perry lying on the floor with a puzzle he wasn’t really piecing together. The noise of them was there, but it never pulled at the ear.Stephanie liked that kind of quiet.She eventually picked up the phone.Peter’s name was bright on the screen.Not a call.A message.She frowned a little.Peter didn’t text when he could talk. He didn’t like to be uncerta

The first time Peter heard her name uttered again aloud it was almost in passing.So casual that he nearly overlooked it.“…international compliance consult, Catalina Alvarez was involved early on, I believe.”The voice seemed to hover across the conference room table, distant and professional, without any historical burden.Peter’s pen stopped in the middle of writing.Just for a moment.Nobody saw anything.He kept his head down and his eyes on the printed brief in his hands, telling himself to keep breathing evenly. The meeting went on, charts flashed, numbers crunched, schedules argued over.But the name clung.Like a hairline fracture fanning out through the glass that is if you knew where to look.Catalina Alvarez.Not tied to him.Not tied to his case.Another jurisdiction. Different context. Different continent, he pondered.And yet, “Peter?”He blinked and looked up.“Yes?”Across the table, a co-worker warily tilted her head. “You were going to say something about the offsh

The first thing Stephanie did was to close the door.Not because she thought someone was going to come in but because the sound was significant. She stood there for a moment afterward, hand on the handle, breathing through the residual adrenaline that had left humming under her skin.Then she turned back to her desk.The file was open still.Her wrist was steady, her shoulders were calm and her thoughts were narrowing down to the level of focus she’d needed to find during those fourteen-hour arbitration marathons. “Who are you hiding from?” she asked quietly, “Let’s see who you’re hiding behind.”The shell entity came first, appearing.A name that by itself signified nothing. Two syllables, corporate-neutral, carefully forgettable. Registered offshore. Nominal directors. A rotating address, moving across borders before gaze could fix.“Of course,” she murmured.She unlocked the registration tree.Followed the references.Then, movement. A secondary link appeared, dim and inconspicuou

The building stank the same.That was the first thing that Stephanie registered on entering the glass doors of Hale & Co. the faint mix of paper, toner, polished wood, and something nearly metallic beneath it all. It was a scent she’d previously linked with late nights and quiet victories and mourning she wasn’t yet capable of putting down.She hesitated just inside the doorway, and her fingers tightened briefly around the handle of her briefcase.Three days married.Three days away from the courtrooms and conference rooms.Three days of crisp, quiet mornings and strange peace like she’d just awakened from a bad dream.Yet... this place knew her without a shadow of a doubt.“Good morning Mrs.Hale.”The greeting was from the receptionist, already smiling, already going to the phone to announce up the row to her arrival. Stephanie gave a slight nod, her smile returning with the kind of effortless grace that can only be mistaken for warmth after it’s found repetition.“Good morning.”Her
