Two in the afternoon in Oregon is always the color of a depressed rich person.

Gray sky. Thin rain. Low fog threading through the pines. My glass house sits on top of the hill like a woman too beautiful to be honest, and usually that view is enough to make my head stop throwing glasses at the wall. Usually.

I had barely parked before my eyes narrowed.

There was a white G-Wagon too clean for a normal life, and a black Range Rover that always parked crooked like painted lines weren’t the law.

  • My Sister's Fiance   dear ms. gómez, unfortunately he was useful

    I went to the office in Theo’s car.Not my finest aesthetic choice, because Theo’s car smelled like expensive coffee, new leather, and the decisions of a man who bought things too often just because “the engine is interesting.” But my car was still God knew where, and I had two small children to drop off at preschool, one nanny going into class like a member of a royal delegation, and one twin brother still asleep on the second floor like the casualty of a diplomatic war.Bianna sat in the front seat, her hair neat in a clear claw clip, oversized sunglasses perched on her head even though the Oregon sky was still gray as an expensive mop rag. In the back seat, Max and Issa wore their preschool uniforms in the most Max-and-Issa way possible: Max with his hair half-combed, cheeks flushed, shoes already dirty even though we had not yet left the driveway; Issa with a lavender cardigan she said “helped her reputation,” a new glitter clip, and the expression of a four-year-old who believed

    We were in the kitchen, the coffee machine starting to make small noises that sounded like someone complaining in an expensive language.I turned the lights on one by one, not too bright. Morning was still gray beyond the large glass windows, the pine forest wet and silent, the backyard looking like God had spent the whole night washing it with an obsessive interest in cleanliness.Karl sat down slowly on the farthest island stool.I pretended not to notice the way his hand touched the side of his ribs before he drew in a small breath and put on that deeply annoying neutral face.“I saw that,” I said, opening the fridge.Karl glanced over. “Saw what?”“You’re still in pain.”“I’m fine.”I took out eggs, butter, avocado, cheese, and a container of arepa dough I’d made the night before. “If you were fine, you wouldn’t sit down that slowly.”He let out a small breath. “I’m just trying not to make everything hurt more.”“That makes more sense.”I started arranging the ingredients on the k

    I nodded once.What little color his face had left drained away. “How?”I gave a small shrug. “I’d love to ask the universe too, but she doesn’t take complaints in Spanish.”“Ara.”“I went to the party. Fiona was happy. Everyone was drinking champagne and taking pictures of the ring. Then Papá introduced his future son-in-law. Zachary de Sanctis. Surprise, my life officially became a premium telenovela.”Karl rubbed his face, then stopped halfway because he touched a bruise. “Jesus.”“He’s probably watching too. Eating popcorn.”“Does Fiona know?”“No.”“That you two—”“No.”“That the kids—”“No.”Karl stared at me.I stared back.That was one terrible thing about old best friends. They knew the difference between silence because you didn’t want to talk and silence because you didn’t know how to stay standing if you did.“Ah, yes. Second plot twist. Suddenly, the big mysterious client from Washington I had just signed belongs to Casa de Sanctis. Zach is the principal. I met him again
