I have a feeling that before that phone call, Magnus was ready to propose to her for real,” Tora said, leaning back on the couch.“Well, my dear Tora, we’ll never know now…”“Listen, Alec, I came here to tell Sunshine that my son is being the biggest idiot in the world. He’s walking around like a corpse, pissed at himself and the world for what happened, but he’s hurt, and by the look on your face, I’d say he’s not alone.”“No, Tora, he’s not,” Alec told her. “During the last few days, ‘Mein Schatz’ hasn’t smiled once, and working at the bar under the man she owes money to… I’m absolutely sure it’s going to kill her slowly.

When the bathroom door creaked open outside the shower, Magnus stopped breathing. His right hand lifted on his own to shut off the cold water, bathing the

A FEW WEEKS LATER Sunny paced around the backstage area, cracking her knuckles until Alec rolled his eyes and told her to sit still so he could finish her makeup.“Oh, Alec… I can’t sit… I’m too nervous… This is the biggest day of my life! What if I forget my lines? What if I trip and fall? What if something bad happens?” Laughing, Alec guided her back to her chair and touched up her face.“You won’t, Mein Schatz! You are having a little panic attack, so, take a few deep breaths and calm down. Everything is going to be absolutely perfect.
