~ SIENNA ~The ball bounced longer than other times. Once. Twice. Thrice. My heart thudded in my chest and the casino was suddenly louder than it had been seconds ago. It wasn’t the music or the chatter or the chimes. It was my own blood roaring in my ears. A $20,000 win or a $16,000 loss… I was a fool to even agree to come here. The casino was a place of luck. Since when have I been a lucky woman? “We might need to take a nap while we wait,” Gavin muttered beside me.I was too nervous to find the joke funny. The ball began to slow down. “If this shit lands on black, I’d make something around here red,” another player beside us seethed. I had to counter his wish with silent prayers of my own. The little white ball, which had held the attention of at least a dozen people around the table for the past sixty seconds, finally dropped into a numbered pocket. Black. The tight knot that had been in my throat since my first bet disappeared at once.Gavin smiled at me like a proud co

~ SIENNA ~Gavin bent to give me a kiss on my… could I call it forehead? It was more on my hair, right at my widow's peak. “You’re going to get all my hair products in your mouth — and I applied lots today,” I warned, giggling. He ran a hand through my shiny strands. “I can see that. And ingesting a bit of hair product won’t kill me. I’ve survived worse.”I keep wondering what the things he’s survived are. Two months and many conversations in, I still don’t know much about this man. At least not the things I want to know — the things that matter. Like how he came up with a gift as thoughtful as the one sitting on my neck right now. A pink diamond studded strawberry pendant? Women have proposed to men for less. And not just because it was an expensive gift, but because it was so tailored to me. I felt more seen than I did in most of my marriage and like I told Gavin, I would never take it off. I applied more glue to the press-on nail I was holding and carefully stuck it to my own

~ SIENNA ~"Gavin Kessler." He said it like the name should mean something to her, even if she clearly also didn’t know him. "Sienna's boyfriend. Soon to be considerably more than that, if I get my way.”Okay, that was way off the script but I still smiled back when he winked at me. "How lovely," Cassy responded, definitely intending for it to be sarcastic but Gavin didn’t let it. "It really is," he agreed, sliding his arm around my waist and pulling me against him with an impressive ease. His hand landed over the small of my back — precisely where the tattoo sat. "I find myself endlessly grateful to your husband. If he hadn't been such a catastrophic disappointment, I'd never have gotten the chance to know Sienna.”The color drained from Harry's face in one clean motion. He must have realized his fake politeness was not holding Gavin back at all."I should thank him too," I added sweetly, looking tenderly at Gavin. "How else would we have found each other?”Cassy's grip on Harry's

~ SIENNA ~Noah nodded solemnly, like I had just said some deep stuff that reminded him of the first time he thought about the meaning of life at age twelve. It was not a reaction that divulged whether or not he knew his brother had left me high and dry. “So I started tutoring online — mainly physics for college kids. I used to do it while married to Harry but he insisted I stopped. It was embarrassing to him for his wife to be a teacher and unnecessary since he would always take care of me.”I let that sink in too, then continued.“Well, I hosted my first physical class to meet my students in the area and at the end of it, Gavin showed up to pick his sister who happened to be one of my students. We got talking and the next thing, he had hired me to teach her privately at their house.”“Oooh… I see where this is going,” Noah mused in a naughty tone. I knew that still didn't mean he believed a word of what I was saying, but he eventually would. My story was solid, if I did say so my

TRIGGER WARNING: Pregnancy loss ~ SIENNA ~Bianca's glare seared through Gavin so viciously, I wondered how he managed to keep standing unaffected.“So you're the man of the moment?” She let out a mocking laugh, wrenching her wrist free from his grip — because he let her. “The thing is, knowing Sienna, it's going to be a very short moment. Did you know her marriage to my son ended because of her infidelity?”I couldn't even pretend to be surprised that Bianca would launch a smear campaign against me immediately.Cassy had already drifted to the window, using the glass as a mirror, dabbing frantically beneath her eye. Gavin stepped forward, putting himself between me and Bianca. “I would believe that the day your son cooperates with efforts to find the ‘anonymous’ sender of those pictures. Wouldn't he also want to know the person who exposed his wife to, at least, thank them?”“Oh, poor young man.” Bianca shook her head in seeming pity. “How can you still defend her when you've seen
