He Looked Like He Belonged

Thirty minutes later, I was sitting in a Italian restaurant far too expensive for this town pretending to be casual, with the grocery receipt still folded inside my bag like a declaration of war.

How did we get here?

Simple.

Two small children announced they were hungry at a volume that made the supermarket’s automatic doors open by themselves three times.

Max pressed both hands to his stomach in the parking lot and said, “I’m starving. Like dinosaur with no chicken.”

Issa hugged her two Barbie

  • My Sister's Fiance   the new house was still too early.

    “I said, if we live in a castle, I need a breakfast throne.”“This isn’t a castle,” Issa’s voice shot back, sharp, still rough with sleep but somehow fully powered for judgment. “It’s an almost castle. And a breakfast throne is for the queen.”“You’re not a queen.”“I have a queen personality.”“You have messy hair.”“I have volume.”I didn’t open my eyes.I needed three seconds to understand several things.One, it was morning and I was still alive.Two, my body was warm in a way that was far too comfortable.Three, someone’s breath was hitting the back of my neck.Four, the bed beneath me was not mine.Damn it.I slowly opened my eyes and immediately saw charcoal linen, the edge of a dinosaur pillow, Issa’s unicorn lying flat on its back like a tiny victim of a very long night, and the heavy curtains covering the glass wall still fully closed. Behind them were probably pine trees, morning fog, and all the expensive aesthetics that made rich people feel like they had discovered natur

  • My Sister's Fiance   the bed became a border dispute

    Max ran to the bed, patted the mattress twice, then climbed up with all the grace of a small potato. He stood in the middle and opened his arms.“This is big enough for a whole country!”Issa, still in Zach’s arms, studied the bed seriously. “A small country.”“A country is still a country.”“I want the side close to Uncle Shiny.”“You’re always close to him.”“Because he’s warm.”“I’m warm too.”“You’re sweaty.”“I’m an athlete.”“You’re four.”“I’m still an athlete!”I walked past them and opened the walk-in closet.The lights came on automatically.Rows of shirts, suits, coats, and casual clothes were organized by color. Everything was dark, neutral, or some combination a man would choose when he wanted to look expensive without admitting he’d spent ten minutes thinking about his outfit.I glanced into the bathroom and found only one toothbrush and one towel hanging neatly. After making sure there was nothing else I should not be noticing, I returned to the bedroom and looked aroun

    The first problem appeared at 8:42 p.m.I knew the time because ever since we walked into this house, I’d been checking the security tablet every seven minutes like a completely sane woman who had definitely not just watched a psychopath wear her twin brother’s face.The problem wore dinosaur pajamas and stood in the middle of the family-wing hallway with a pillow tucked under one arm.“I’m not sleeping alone,” Max announced.“Me too.” Behind him, Issa appeared from the lavender room in matching satin pajamas, a tiny bonnet in one hand and her unicorn tucked under her arm.I looked from one to the other.The two bedrooms that had been psychopathically prepared since Medellín stood open behind them. The dinosaur lamp glowed softly in Max’s room. Issa’s canopy fell prettily from the bed frame. There were night-lights, cameras I’d already disabled from the tablet, panic panels, and a connecting door to the small sitting room.Everything was safe.Everything was comfortable.Everything had

    I closed the tablet. “This doesn’t mean I agree.”“I know.”“This doesn’t mean I trust you.”“I know.”“And if you secretly have a basement room filled with photographs, red string, and strands of my hair in plastic bags, I’m burning down your forest.”This time, his smile appeared a little more fully. Thin. Dark. Extremely unhelpful to national stability. “Your hair is difficult to get.”I stared at him.He added, “You’re always replacing your brush.”I pointed at him. “That is the creepiest thing you’ve ever said, and you once told me Switzerland was too cold for kidnapping.”“I thought you liked observant men.”“I like men who can die quickly when necessary.”“Promising.”Before I could decide whether the heavy security tablet could be used as a blunt weapon, Bianna appeared in the sitting-room doorway with her phone in one hand and the expression of a woman who had just found her purpose in life.“Boss.”“What?”“I have a suite.”“I know.”“Not a room. A suite.”“Congratulations.

    I was still holding Max’s pack of crackers when Zach’s words reached my brain in an extremely rude way.Since Medellín.Not since this morning. Not since Daniel Kessler hit the wet pavement with Theo’s face torn halfway off. Not since his phone coughed up one leftover file after the auto-wipe and called me the primary guardian like I was applying for a job in hell.Since Medellín.I put the crackers back in the drawer with a level of care no children’s snack deserved. If I set them down too hard, I might start throwing things. And Max’s dinosaur lamp was too cute to become collateral damage in the war against an Italian man with a God complex.I turned around slowly.Zach was still standing near the door, tall, half-wet, far too handsome for a situation this morally disgusting. The ends of his black hair had started to dry, falling slightly over his forehead. His white T-shirt clung to his chest in a way that should have been illegal within fifty feet of a kid’s bedroom.“Since Medell

    Max hugged the ball to his chest. His blue eyes lit up so brightly that something in my chest tightened. “The bed is low,” he said, inspecting it.“So you don’t fall.”“I don’t fall.”“You fell off the couch in your sleep once.”“That was because the couch moved.”“The couch did not move.”“In my dream, I moved.”“Too much blue.” Issa appeared behind us and looked around her brother’s room.Max glared at her. “My room isn’t for you.”“I don’t want it either.”“You were looking at the ball.”“I looked because the color was yelling.”“Your lavender yells too.”“Lavender whispers.”“Lavender is for grandmas.”Issa immediately lunged at him.I caught her around the waist just in time. “No.”“But he insulted my color family!”“Your color family will survive.”“He has to apologize.”Max grinned. “Lavender grandma.”Issa shrieked.I lifted her before her hands reached Max’s hair. Her weight immediately pulled at my arm.“Dios mío, you’ve been in this house for two minutes.”“I’m the victim,”

    “Come on. We’re going home.”I finally said it again, even though my own voice sounded far away in my ears. Like it belonged to some other woman who just happened to be wearing my face.Max immediately tightened his arms around Zach’s neck.No.Wait.What?Now he was clinging to the man like it was

    And then... the blue eyes I’d once punched found mine across the crowd.Oh, good.Just fantastic.If the universe had a sense of humor, it was definitely drunk.I didn’t know who moved first. Maybe not him. Maybe not me. Maybe the room just suddenly felt too tight, too bright, too full of people wh

    The second-floor workspace looks like a bored Pinterest board: neat white desk, bookshelves, two monitors. I’m in a fitted black blazer on top… alpaca-print pajama pants on the bottom.Out in the hallway, just beyond the half-closed door, the sound of running shakes the corridor.“SUPER MAX WILL SA
