All I did was stare at her because I didn't know what else to do or what response to give.She stood and asked me to follow her out. I untangled my hand from Mason's carefully, so I wouldn't wake him, and followed her down the hall.She led me out to the hospital garden. We stood there a while, neither of us saying anything, before she finally let out a breath."After Bryan's accident, Lior disappeared, and now Mason is here." She shook her head slowly. "It's made me think things through properly. I couldn't even put into words what it feels like, imagining the possibility of losing either of my sons. I love them so much I don't think I'd survive it. It made me understand what I've been asking of you. What I've been asking of Mason.""I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I know I don't have a right to it." She kept her eyes on the flower beds instead of me. "But I want you to know I'll stay out of your way. You don't have to leave him. Not because of anything I've put you through. Wha

I understood Troy wanting to get even with me. He'd spent our whole lives making sure I knew exactly how little he thought of me, so his anger, however unearned, at least made a kind of sense.But going after Lior's life to do it. That was bottomless cruelty. He's just a child. Troy could be a lot of things, but I never for once pictured him as the kind who'd join a gang."How dangerous is it?" I asked Bryan."Luckily it's just a local gang, still finding its feet. Everything's set. Their supply comes in three days. The police already have the area surrounded. The moment the goods arrive, they'll all be picked up. It's prison from there."Prison didn't feel like enough. I wanted something worse for Troy than a cell, something closer to the trauma he'd put me through for weeks. Prison sometimes felt too little for some crimes."That leaves Naomi and her mother," Bryan said. "We get them handled and Lior's safe for good." He looked around at the rest of us. "The floor is open for ideas.

I went to the living room and sat on the couch, waiting on the rolls in the oven. That was the only reason I was still downstairs. Without that timer to wait for, I'd already be upstairs, sleeping off the mood.I knew about the "date." Mason had told me, even offered to have me listen in the way I usually did. I turned him down this time. Somewhere along the way, listening to their conversations had stopped feeling useful and started feeling like a kind of torture.I knew the photo had probably been taken out of context. Knowing that didn't stop it from hurting. I looked at it once more, then sighed and locked my phone.Chase and Hannah came down a few minutes later."I'm heading out," Hannah said."Goodnight," I said, not even looking up."Pull the rolls when the timer goes off," I told Chase. "I'm going up to sleep."They exchanged a look over my head."Okayyy," Chase said, drawing it out, and disappeared into the kitchen.Hannah moved and sat down beside me instead of leaving. "Wha

"Mia, please, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Mason pleaded, thinking my silence meant anger directed at him.I told him he didn't have to apologize, that none of it was his fault, his drink was spiked, nothing to forgive, and I wasn't angry.Well, I was, but at Naomi.His tensed body relaxed. He said he was done playing games, because if she'd actually succeeded last night, he'd have committed murder.He informed me he'd already paid someone to get into Naomi's and her mother's devices."I had the same conversation with Chase downstairs before I came in. I feel exactly the same way. Let's end it."He hugged me tighter. "I can't wait for all of this to be over.""Me too."I rested my chin on his chest. "What's the first thing you'll do when it is?""Send Lior to his grandparents for a few days, then book us a trip out of LA. We've earned it.""I love the sound of that."I stayed in his arms for another minute before sighing. "I came upstairs to get ready for work.""It doesn't hurt

Everyone was happy that Lior was finally home, but Harriet was probably the happiest of us all.Naomi, her mother and her brother had been charged, and their trial dates had been fixed. With the amount of evidence against them, we all knew they were going to prison.For the first time in what felt like forever, we had our peaceful lives back.Lior returned to school, everything slowly fell into place. And through all of it, if there was one person I was especially grateful to, it was Bryan. Without him, things might have ended very differently.It was funny when I thought about it. We had gone from him hating me, to me saving him, and then him saving my son.Life really did work in unpredictable ways.What we'd been through brought all of us closer as a family.We also finally found out exactly what Naomi and her mother had planned to do to Lior at Crystal's party.They were going to poison him.The person they'd contacted to do it was one of the house helps who worked at Crystal's ho
