The night Marcus died, none of us slept.Luca sat by the window, watching the street. Eli paced the living room. I held the girls in the rocking chair, one in each arm. Hope was restless. Grace slept through everything.The police came at dawn. Two officers. A detective in a plain coat.He asked us questions. Where had we been? When did we last see Marcus? Did we know anyone who wanted him dead?Luca answered for all of us. He said we had been at the cabin. Marcus had come to the door. He had threatened us. We walked to the main road. A woman drove us to the police station. We had never touched Marcus.The detective nodded. He said they had no suspects. But they would be in touch.He left.Eli closed the door. He leaned against it.He asked Luca if he thought the police would find the killer.Luca said he did not know.I asked if Luca thought Marcus deserved to die.Luca was quiet for a moment. Then he said yes.Eli said no one deserved to die like that.Luca looked at Eli. His eyes w

The truth about Grace's twin sister settled over us like a heavy blanket.Luca did not speak for hours. He held Hope. He held Grace. He stared at the wall.Eli made lunch. No one ate.I sat next to Luca. I took his hand.He said he did not know who to trust anymore.I said you can trust us.He looked at me.

The photograph of Derek and Hope stayed on the mantle.Hope pointed at it every day. She said Dada. Luca stopped correcting her. Eli said nothing. I said nothing.Grace had been gone for two weeks. No calls. No texts. No sightings. Luca's lawyer confirmed she had boarded a flight to Europe. She was gone.But Luca was quiet. Distant. He played with Hope. He helped with Grace. He ate dinner with us. But his mind was somewhere else.One night, after the girls were asleep, I found him in the nursery. He was sitting in the rocking chair, staring at the crib.I sat on the floor next to him.I asked what he was thinking about.He said Grace.I waited.He said there was something he had not told me. Something about the marriage.I asked what marriage.He said he had married Grace. Years ago. In Vegas. Drunk. Stupid. They had annulled it a week later.I asked why he had not told me.He said because he was ashamed. Because he wanted to forget. Because he did not want me to think less of him.I

I stood in the doorway, staring at the woman who was supposed to be dead.She looked older than her photos. Thinner. Her eyes were tired. But she was alive.Luca's voice came from behind me. He asked who was at the door.I stepped aside.He saw her. His face went white.He said Grace.She said hello, Luca.He asked how she was alive.She said she had lied. About the cancer. About the baby. About everything.Luca stepped back. He shook his head.Eli came to the door. He looked at Grace. He looked at me.He asked what was going on.Grace said she needed to talk. To Luca. Alone.Luca said no. Whatever she had to say, she could say in front of Nova and Eli.Grace walked inside. She sat on the couch.Luca sat across from her. Eli stood by the window. I sat next to Luca.Grace looked at me. She said I was beautiful. Luca had told her that.I asked why she faked her death.She said because she was scared. Because she had done terrible things. Because she did not know how to face Luca.Luca a

The door closed behind Luca. The sound echoed through the apartment.Hope looked up from her toy. She pointed at the door. She said Dada.I could not speak.Eli held me. His arms were tight around my shoulders.Claire stood in the corner. Her face was pale. She said she was sorry. She did not know. Derek had never told her.I asked why he would do this.Claire said because he was broken. Because he wanted to give Luca something before he died. Because he thought love was more important than blood.I pulled away from Eli. I walked to the door.Eli asked where I was going.I said to find Luca.He asked if I wanted him to come.I said no.I drove to Luca's apartment.His car was there. The lights were off.I knocked. No answer.I knocked again.The door opened. Luca stood there. His eyes were red. His face was wet.He said he could not do this.I asked what he meant.He said he could not pretend to be Hope's father when he was not.I said he was her father. Biology did not matter.He sho
