Chapter 51Ordinary ThingsMyraI woke up smiling.That alone should have warned me something was wrong.For several seconds, I didn’t open my eyes.I simply lay there beneath the sheets, warm and comfortable, listening to the steady breathing of the man beside me.Nicholas.No hospital machines.No guards speaking urgently outside the door.No phone vibrating on the nightstand.No helicopters.No guns.No secret family members waiting downstairs.Just Nicholas.And me.And the kind of morning I’d once thought people only had in movies.His arm was stretched across my waist.One leg tangled with mine.My cheek rested against his chest.Sometime during the night, the blanket had ended up mostly on the floor.I wasn’t going to complain.I shifted slightly.His arm tightened immediately.“Don’t.”His voice was deep with sleep.I smiled against his chest.“I didn’t do anything.”“You moved.”“People do that.”“Unnecessary.”I laughed softly.“You’re awake.”“No.”“You’re talking.”“Still

Chapter 55By ChoiceMyraTwo months later.Nicholas was acting strange.Not dangerous strange.Not someone is following us strange.Not there’s another secret family member hiding in Switzerland strange.Just—Nicholas strange.Which might have been worse.He had been looking at his phone all morning.Every time I came near him, he put it down.At breakfast, Chase called.Nicholas answered, listened for approximately eight seconds, then said,“Not now.”And hung up.I stared at him across the kitchen island.“What?”“Nothing.”“Why did you hang up on Chase?”“He was annoying me.”“That’s normal.”“Yes.”“What did he want?”“Nothing.”I narrowed my eyes.Nicholas took a drink of coffee.Too casual.Much too casual.Ash was lying near his chair.Because somewhere during the past eight months, the rule about goats never entering the house had apparently died.Nicholas claimed Ash was only allowed in the mudroom.Ash apparently had not been informed.He was currently asleep beneath the k
