I waited until the second SUV disappeared beyond the gate.

Then I counted to three.

That was enough obedience for one morning.

I went back inside, locked the door, then walked through the kitchen without touching the cleaning cloth I’d left behind. The house felt strange without Max and Issa. Too large. Too clean. No small footsteps racing around upstairs. No Issa accusing someone of insulting her fashion. No Max asking whether his school bag could carry a sword.

Just the low hum of the dishwas

    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.

  • My Sister's Fiance   fear, money, & very efficient stupidity

    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,”

  • My Sister's Fiance   Almost a Castle, Definitely a Trap

    The foyer was spacious without feeling like a hotel. Dark gray stone flooring gave way to wide oak planks. A grand staircase curved up to the second floor with a simple black railing. To the left, an open family room overlooked the lake. A fire burned in a stone fireplace that rose almost two stories high.To the right, a wide arched doorway revealed a two-story library. Dark wood shelves reached the ceiling, complete with a rolling ladder, a small balcony on the upper level, leather sofas, reading tables, and low lighting.Farther in, there was an indoor garden beneath a skylight. A small tree, stones, green plants, and water moving slowly down one wall.I hadn’t even finished processing all of it when Max ran three steps into the middle of the foyer, spun around, and threw his arms open.“Is the backyard big enough for an Arsenal stadium?”“Depends on the size of the stadium.” Zach closed the door behind us.“A big one.”“Of course.”“Can the roof open?”“We don’t have a stadium yet

    I looked at the pile of things she had packed. A purple plastic crown sat on top of one of the suitcases. “The crown is essential?”“Yes.” Issa pressed a hand to her chest.“That too.” Max pointed at the small ball beside the suitcase.“I wasn’t talking to either of you.” I looked at Bianna. “You gave up way too quickly.”Bianna lowered the tote bag from her shoulder and looked toward the foyer behind me. From where we stood, the hole in the glass wasn’t clearly visible, but the shards were scattered at the end of the hallway. So were the armed men, the lowered shutter, and the faces of every adult who had lost the ability to pretend.“Boss,” she said, “I just watched a man wearing Theo’s face on the monitor.”“That is not a reason to pack skincare.”“That is exactly why you pack skincare. Trauma dehydrates the skin.”“We haven’t agreed to leave.”“I know.” She pushed the suitcase closer to the garage door. “But today, I support armed capitalism.”Zach glanced at her. “Only today?”“

    Night came down slowly over Lake Oswego like someone politely turning off the lights.The rain that had clung to the glass since afternoon had finally stopped. The streets were still black and damp, the sidewalks reflecting the last of the light, and the sky above the pines had cleared clean—dark b

    Max was still clinging to me. I shifted him onto the kid seat at the end of the island, lowering him carefully until he landed on the white cushion. He pouted immediately, one hand still guarding the upper arm that had just been “wounded in battle.”“I want to sit far away from her,” he muttered, g

    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

    Five days in the Gómez house felt like being tossed into an industrial washing machine: spinning, loud, warm, and there was always someone shoving food at you even after you’d just said you were full.On day one, Mamá had already rearranged my entire schedule like I was back in eleventh grade and n
