The Sterling family had been in town for three days before Nadia finally heard anything more about them.

And even then, she wasn't particularly interested.

She was home for a short break from university, which meant she had already made a list of everything she wanted to do before returning.

Sleep.

Study.

Spend time with Grandma Eleanor.

Take Sophia out.

Help Victoria in the kitchen.

And, if she had enough time, do absolutely nothing for an entire afternoon.

The last one was the most difficult.

  • WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE.   CHAPTER 30 THE SECOND MEETING

    Nadia forgot about Adrian before they even reached home.By the time she woke up the next morning, her mind was already somewhere else.Medical school.Her upcoming examinations.The research paper she had been putting off.And Sophia, who had somehow managed to sneak into her room before eight in the morning.“Nadia.”Nothing.“Nadia.”Still nothing.Sophia climbed onto the bed.“Nadia!”Nadia opened one eye.“What?”“You promised.”Nadia frowned.“Promised what?”Sophia looked offended.“You said you'd take me shopping.”Nadia stared at her for a few seconds.Then remembered.“Oh.”Sophia folded her arms.“You forgot.”“I didn't forget.”“You did.”“I was going to remember.”“That doesn't make sense.”Nadia laughed.“Okay. I forgot.”Sophia smiled triumphantly.“I knew it.”Nadia sat up.“What do you want to buy?”“Shoes.”“How many?”“Three.”“Three?”“Yes.”“Why?”“One for school. One for church. One for going out.”Nadia stared at her.“You're eight.”“So?”Nadia laughed.“Fine.

  • WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE.   CHAPTER 28 THE CHOICE

    At seventeen, Nadia had become almost impossible to slow down.She was finishing school earlier than most of her classmates, taking extra classes, preparing for university applications, and somehow still finding time for Sophia.Richard had stopped asking whether she was tired.He already knew the answer.She was.She simply refused to admit it.One Tuesday evening, he found her asleep over her chemistry textbook.He stood in the doorway for a moment, watching her.Her glasses had slipped slightly down her nose. One hand was still holding a pen.Richard smiled.He walked over and gently took the pen from her fingers."Nadia."She stirred."Hmm?""Go to bed.""I'm studying.""You were studying in your sleep."Her eyes opened."I'm not sleeping."Richard raised an eyebrow."You were snoring.""I don't snore.""You do."She sat upright."I don't."He laughed."Come on."She looked at the open book."I have an exam tomorrow.""And you'll do better after sleeping.""I still have two chapte

  • WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE.   CHAPTER 27 THE GIRL SHE WAS BECOMING

    By sixteen, Nadia had grown into the kind of girl people noticed without her ever trying to be noticed.Not because she was loud.She wasn't.Not because she chased attention.She actually avoided it.It was simply difficult not to notice her.She had grown taller, her features had softened, and the little girl who once followed Richard around the house asking endless questions had become a calm, intelligent young woman who seemed to carry herself with quiet confidence.But the biggest change wasn't physical.It was the way she saw the world.Nadia was still remarkably innocent.She had never been interested in sneaking out, getting drunk, impressing boys, or becoming popular just for the sake of it.Her friends sometimes teased her about it.She didn't care.She had her priorities.School.Family.Her future.And, most importantly, becoming the kind of person she could be proud of.Her bedroom reflected that.Books were everywhere.Science textbooks sat beside novels.Sticky notes co

    By the time Nadia turned thirteen, the Lawson household had developed a rhythm that everyone knew by heart.Richard left early for work.Victoria usually stayed home in the mornings, especially while Sophia was still young.Nadia went to school.Sophia went to nursery.And by evening, everyone somehow ended up around the same dining table.It wasn't perfect.They argued.They annoyed each other.Nadia and Sophia fought over the television remote at least twice a week.Richard occasionally came home late and found Victoria waiting for him with crossed arms.But it was home.And Nadia loved it.Until school started becoming complicated.It began with something small.A group project.Nadia came home one afternoon and dropped her schoolbag onto the sofa.Victoria looked up from her laptop."Bad day?""No."Victoria studied her."That sounded like a yes."Nadia sighed."It's nothing.""Do you want to talk about it?""No."Victoria didn't push."Okay."Nadia picked up her bag.Then stopped

    Three years passed.Not dramatically.Not with some life-changing event.Just quietly, the way childhood usually did.Nadia turned twelve.Sophia turned two.And somehow, the little girl Nadia had once carried around like a doll had become a tiny person with a very loud personality.Especially when she didn't get what she wanted.“No.”Victoria looked up from the kitchen counter.“Sophia.”“No!”“You can't have another cookie.”Sophia folded her arms.“Cookie.”“You already had two.”“Three.”Victoria stared at her.“You had three?”Sophia nodded proudly.Nadia, sitting at the kitchen table doing homework, burst out laughing.“She's snitching on herself.”Sophia pointed at Nadia.“More!”“No,” Nadia said.Sophia frowned.“Mean.”Nadia laughed harder.“See? She called you mean.”Victoria shook her head.“She learned that word yesterday.”“And she's already using it correctly.”Richard walked into the kitchen.“What happened?”Victoria pointed toward Sophia.“Your daughter wants another
