Brooklyn's POV

"Go back to dinner," I said.

He didn't move.

"Your fiancée might come looking for you again."

Something crossed his face. "She's not my fiancée."

"Your father seems to disagree."

"My father disagrees with a lot of things." He held my gaze. "That's not what we're talking about."

"Then what are we talking about?" I kept my arms crossed. "Because you have a dining room full of guests downstairs and a girl who spilled a full drink on me to test your reaction — " I paused — "and inste

    Brooklyn's POVA beat. One single beat where Emerson absorbed what I had just done.Then he exhaled slowly through his nose and shook his head with the expression of someone resigned to playing along with something they had not agreed to."You've completely ruined it," he said. His voice was flat but he aimed it at me rather than Riley which was the right direction. "The whole point was that she wouldn't know.""I'm sorry," I said again. "I assumed she already knew.""Why would she already know if it was a surprise?""I said I was sorry."He looked at Riley. Something passed over his face — the warmth he had been producing all evening, slightly more genuine this time because he was working with it rather than just displaying it. "Ignore everything she just said."Riley laughed.It was a real laugh. Short and surprised and it dropped some of the careful composure she had been maintaining since the hallway."That's really thoughtful," she said. She looked at me and then at him and there

    Brooklyn's POVHe didn't answer.One second. Two. His mouth had opened and now it wasn't closing and nothing was coming through it and the silence stretched long enough to become its own kind of answer.I nodded slowly."Right," I said.I walked past him.He turned. "Brooklyn — ""It's fine." I kept moving toward the door. "Go back to your guests."I opened my bedroom door and stepped out into the hallway.And stopped.Riley was standing outside my door.Not close to it — not with her ear pressed against it or anything that obvious. Just standing in the hallway in the way people stand when they have arrived somewhere and then reconsidered whether to knock. She looked at me when I came out and something moved quickly across her face before she composed it.We looked at each other.I had absolutely nothing to say.Riley opened her mouth.Emerson stepped out of my room behind me.The three of us stood in the hallway and the silence had a very specific quality — the quality of something t

"I want to understand that.""I think you understand it perfectly.""I don't." He looked at me steadily. "Explain it."I exhaled. "You act differently every time, Emerson. That's it. That's the whole explanation." I shifted my weight. "One day you're putting a bracelet outside my door. The next day everything wrong in your life is my fault. One day yo

    Brooklyn's POVI changed quickly.Dark dress off, folded over the back of the chair, replacement pulled from the wardrobe — simpler, less suitable for a dinner party but clean and dry and not covered in Riley Holloway's drink. I was reaching for the zip at the back when three knocks came at my door.I stilled."One second."I finished zipping, checked myself in the mirror briefly, and opened the door.Emerson.Still in his dinner clothes, jacket slightly open now, looking at me in that way he had when he was checking something without wanting to appear like he was checking."You changed," he said."That was the general idea." I moved to step past him. "I should get back — ""Are you okay?"I stopped.He was looking at me directly. Not performing concern the way people did when they felt obligated to ask. Just asking. Simple and straight and waiting for an actual answer."I'm fine," I said."The dress — ""Is fine. It'll wash out." I adjusted my sleeve. "I need to get back to the dinin

    Brooklyn's POVRiley said nothing about the hallway.She walked beside Emerson toward the dining room and whatever she had seen or concluded stayed exactly where it was — behind her eyes, unspoken, filed away. She was good at that. I could see it from the kitchen doorway as they rounded the corner together. The way she had composed herself so quickly told me she was someone who collected information quietly and decided later what to do with it.I gave it three minutes and then followed with the water jug.---The dining table looked the way Patrick's dinners always looked — precise and expensive and designed to communicate something about the kind of family the Westons were. The caterers had done everything correctly. I had nothing to do except stay available, refill glasses, remove plates at the right moments, and be invisible in between.I was good at invisible.I moved around the table at the intervals I had learned from the first dinner. James Holloway talked business with Patrick

    *Brooklyn's POV"Move," I said."In a minute.""The house is full of people." I glanced toward the dining room door, then back at him. "Anyone could walk through here right now. Move.""Let them." He uncrossed his arms but didn't shift from the spot. "I want an apology first."I stared at him. "An apology.""From you. To me." He held my gaze. "For the trouble.""What trouble?""The cell, Brooklyn." He said it quietly but with enough weight to fill the whole hallway. "Three days. Because of the bracelet situation.""Which I did not cause.""Which you absolutely — ""I did not ask you to buy me a bracelet." I kept my voice low and even. "I did not ask you to leave it at my door. I did not ask you to sneak into your father's study. I did not ask you to do any single thing that resulted in any of what happened to you." I held his gaze steadily. "So no. I will not be apologising for something that was entirely your own series of decisions."Something sharpened in his expression."Say that

Just loud enough for me to catch it, quiet enough for them to deny it.I kept walking.Two weeks. That's how long this rumour had been following me arou

    Brooklyn's pov "Here is the deal." Emerson leaned against the hallway wall, arms crossed, voice low enough that Daisy couldn't hear from the dining room. He looked completely relaxed, like he negotiated truces every morning before breakfast. "I stay out of your way," he said, "so you're free to

    Brooklyn's pov "Time to feast."I heard Emerson say — cleats still on, grass-stained from soccer practice, heading straight for the kitchen like the fridge owed him something.I stayed on the couch and waited.The silence that followed was deeply satisfying."What the — " A pause. Then louder. "Why
