By evening, the cabin had changed color.

The wet green afternoon had faded into dim gold at the windows. Outside, the forest looked denser now, the pine trunks dark, a thin fog rising again from the ground like something with bad intentions but enough manners to knock first. Inside, the fireplace was already burning low. The smell of warm wood, hot chocolate that had nearly spilled earlier, and children’s socks that somehow always managed to become part of a house’s atmosphere all mixed togethe

  • My Sister's Fiance   do they know, does she know, does he ache

    My own office building felt more sane than Northlake.Not because the people inside it were more normal. Obviously not. I had once caught Miles eating dry cereal out of a mug that said World’s Okayest Developer at four in the afternoon while debugging a production issue.But this was my territory. Tall glass, smooth concrete floors, plants I had chosen myself after spending three months pretending to be a woman who had time for interior design, and the smell of coffee from the pantry that never felt like an asset owned by a De Sanctis man. Here, the air paid rent to me.I walked in through the glass doors with a black tote on my shoulder, my hair still slightly damp from a quick shower, wearing a cream blazer, black high-waisted pants, and a mood that, if sold in a perfume shop, would probably be called: Don’t Test Me, Peasant.“Morning, boss,” my receptionist, Lina, greeted me from behind the front desk.“Morning.”“Coffee?”“Already had one.”“Second coffee?”I stopped.Lina lifted

    “Max. Issa.” My voice came out neat. Too neat. “We’re going home.”Issa didn’t look back. “In a minute, Mommy. Sofia is bonding with me.”“Sofia will survive without additional bonding.”“No, she needs me.”“She’s a cat.”“Mommy, Cannoli is almost choosing Arsenal.” Max half turned, still crouched.Cannoli walked away.Max immediately pointed. “He’s shy.”“He’s fleeing your social pressure.”Zach stood.A simple movement. But once he was upright, his body filled the yard. The black T-shirt clung slightly to his chest and shoulders, the tattoo on his arm shifting as he slid his hands into the pockets of his joggers. His hair still fell messily over his forehead, but his eyes had no sleep left in them. Those eyes were fully awake.I ignored him with a skill that deserved a place on my résumé. “Your five minutes are up,” I told the twins. “We’re going home, you’re taking baths, and then Mommy has work.”Issa finally turned, her hazel eyes widening, illegally dramatic. “But Mommy said fiv

    My royal belly.”I looked at Issa’s little stomach, which she was patting with great authority, then at Max, who immediately started making stomach noises with his mouth.“Belly belly belly,” he said, giggling.“Nathan,” I said without taking my eyes off my children. “If they start calling me Belly at home, I’m sending you the therapy bill.”Nathan took a calm sip of his coffee. “I’ll forward it to the family finance department.”“Of course. I’m sure your family has an entire department for emotional damage.”His smile widened slightly. “We call it legal.”I hated that it was funny.Issa tugged at the hem of my jacket again. “Mommy, Handsome Uncle has a very big house.”“All the houses here are big, princesa.”“But his house looks like a villain with good taste.”Max nodded seriously. “It has a gate. Gates are cool. Our house doesn’t have a black gate.”“Because our house is not a criminal headquarters,” I said.“You want to see something?” Nathan bent toward Max and Issa, his face sl

    He leaned slightly against the side of the mansion’s black gate, coffee tumbler still in hand, his gray hoodie falling perfectly across his shoulders. His hair was dark, damp at the ends, like he had either just showered or just come back from a run that somehow had not made him look like a regular human being.His eyes were not as sharp as Zach’s, not that cold, but the lines were the same.Blue-gray.Expensive.Insolent.Younger than Zach. Brighter. Quicker to smile. Less handsome than Zach.“So you two are jogging?” he said to the twins, as if I wasn’t standing there with my blood vessels holding an emergency meeting.Max immediately puffed out his chest. “I’m an athlete.”“He just said his legs were hungry.” Issa snorted.“That’s a private medical condition.”Nathan bent slightly, his face going fake-serious. “Hungry legs are very serious. In Italy, we give them pasta.”Max’s eyes went round. “Legs eat pasta?”“If the legs are polite.”Issa looked down at her own shoes suspiciousl

  • My Sister's Fiance   Curiosity in My Cheekbones, Trouble at the Gate

    We passed the mansion without incident. I didn’t even look over for too long. Very mature. Almost impressive. If there were security cameras, they would have captured a black-haired mother in expensive leggings, two children who looked like an ad for a chaotic family, and no criminal evidence except curiosity sitting in her cheekbones.We kept going to the far end of the neighborhood, where the road sloped gently upward and curved past rows of massive houses that each looked like the kind of place where people signed NDAs before dinner. Max started complaining after eight minutes.“My legs are hungry.”“Legs don’t get hungry.”“My legs want to go home.”“Your legs just started working.”“I’m still pretty, but I don’t like cardio.” Issa, who had been very glamorous earlier, now had flushed cheeks and short little breaths.“Me too, princesa.”“Why are we doing this?”“Because Mommy wants to be healthy.”Max turned his head sharply. “You’re lying.”I nearly tripped.Issa immediately look
