Sienna blinked once. Arianna stared at me like she was waiting for the next word. They both knew that name. Of course they knew that name. They had seen me at MIT when Zach still came to the lab in a leather jacket, his hair wet from Boston rain, his blue eyes making smart women suddenly want to believe in stupid things.

They had been there when I stopped saying his name. They had been there when I came home from Boston with my face carefully arranged, too little luggage, and a body already hid

  • My Sister's Fiance   all my anger, wearing your cologne

    Zach let out a slow breath. His eyes dropped to my face, to the glass of water in front of me, to the dance floor, then back to me.“Drunk.”“Brilliant.” I slapped the table once, except my hand landed on a napkin. “Did Casa de Sanctis acquire observational skills too?”He smirked.“What are you doing here, Zach?”“Picking you up.”I laughed. “No. Try again. You are not picking me up. I’m not a Northlake package, not some rogue service account, not one of the little red dots on your arrogant map.”His gaze moved behind me.I turned to follow it too quickly. The world swayed with me. Near the bar, two men who had been standing by the edge of the dance floor earlier were now looking toward our booth. One of them immediately looked away the second Zach’s eyes landed on him.Oh.Interesting.Or it should have been interesting. My brain only filed it away like a wet sticky note: men looking. Zach angry. Zach pretending not to be.“I’m fine,” I said.“You almost called the weather app.”“I

  • My Sister's Fiance   the booth, the booze, and the blue eyes

    I told them everything.Not in any pretty order, because apparently my life had never been given that courtesy.I told them about Northlake, Casa de Sanctis, Zach walking into that conference room like he owned my fate, the black package, the photos from Nathan’s yard, Issa’s hair clip, the message about Fiona, the security plan I accepted because I wasn’t stupid enough to let my ego babysit my children.I even told them about Karl. About him standing in the rain, his face bruised, still calm enough to make me want to scream. About Zach calling Max and Issa his children in a voice that made the floor under me feel crooked.Sienna didn’t interrupt much. She just sat there, spine straight, the warmth slowly draining from her face every time I added another piece.Arianna, on the other hand, reacted like she was watching a season finale written by someone who hated women. She kept opening her mouth, closing it, raising a hand, lowering it again, until finally she said, “I seriously need

They had been there when I came home from Boston with my face carefully arranged, too little luggage, and a body already hiding two small lives.“In Colombia,” Arianna repeated.I nodded. “At Fiona’s engagement party.”Sienna took in a small breath.I smiled. Not well. I could feel it in the way I was holding my napkin too neatly. “Because he’s her fiancé.”Arianna’s mouth opened.Sienna did not blink.I took another fry because I was an adult woman and tragedy should not be allowed to interfere with my salt intake.“Sorry,” Arianna said at last, her voice flat in a way that was very unlike Arianna. “I think I just h

  • My Sister's Fiance   girls time

    Night fell over Oregon in a way far too polite for a house currently being ruled by two tiny four-year-old criminals.Outside, rain clung to the large windows of the family room, its lines sliding down slowly like someone was trying to clean the world from the outside. Inside, the world refused to be cleaned. My linen sofa had lost two pillows. The expensive rug in the middle of the room was covered in LEGO pieces, Max’s socks, one of Issa’s plastic tiaras, three empty string cheese wrappers, and the tiny trail of something I sincerely hoped was chocolate.I sat on the sofa with one leg tucked beneath me, my hair still half damp from the shower I had taken too quickly earlier that afternoon after getting home from Nathan’s house. My cream sweater had slipped slightly off one shoulder. In my hand was a mug of chamomile that had gone cold because every time I tried to drink, one of my children decided they needed to declare a new war.Beside me, Bianna slept like the victim of a ritual.

  • My Sister's Fiance   if my life had mercy

    Max narrowed his eyes. “You are not food.”Issa turned slowly. “Good.”“You are a cupcake that fell on the floor.”Issa blinked once. “I am an expensive cupcake,” she said. “You are a nugget someone forgot to cook.”Max immediately pouted. His round cheeks pushed forward, his blue eyes deeply offended in a way far too adorable for a boy who had stolen a spoon ten seconds ago. “I’m not a nugget.”“You look like a nugget when you sit like that.”“I’m handsome.”“Nuggets can have confidence too.”“Isabella,” I said.“What?” She looked at me with a face so innocent it failed completely, because her mouth was still holding back a smile. “I’m just saying the truth.”Max folded his arms over his chest, his mouth puckering. “I don’t want to talk to you,” Issa picked up her strawberry and took a small bite. “Finally. Peace.”“Okay.” I exhaled softly. “One more criminal sentence from either of you and I’m sending you to preschool in potato sacks.”Max turned fast. “What color are the sacks?”“
