~Selene's POV~The session is scheduled for ten o'clock.She is at Pack Hall by nine forty-five, which is her habit for anything formal, the extra fifteen minutes not wasted but used, a final read of the resettlement documentation Rhys compiled and a brief conversation with the records officer about the filing structure for joint governance decisions, which is a new category in the Pack Hall record system and one the records officer has been setting up over the past two weeks with the particular careful attention of someone who understands they are creating something that will outlast this specific occasion.She thanks him and goes to the session room.Caden is already there. He is at the table with his copy of the resettlement file open, reading, his coffee from the hall's front desk at his right hand. He looks up when she comes in and says good morning and she says good morning back and she takes the chair beside him, not across from him, beside him, the seating arrangement they con

~Selene's POV~Dr. Amara comes on Thursdays.This has been the arrangement since Amara established her Cresthaven practice, the Thursday afternoon visit that covers both twins in sequence and which has settled into the manor's weekly rhythm with the particular ease of something that was always going to be part of the structure once it arrived. Lior goes first because Lior's visits require more active management and benefit from the energy of the earlier slot. Asha goes second because Asha is better served by the quieter end of the afternoon when the house has settled and the light through the east wing windows has reached the specific quality she seems to find most interesting.Today Lior's visit produced three new developmental notes, one borderline alarming observation about the rate at which he is developing fine motor control relative to his apparent interest in cabinet latches, and a brief interlude where he expressed his views on the stethoscope with some force. Amara noted ever

~Selene's POV~The twins go down at the same time on Tuesday.This does not always happen. More often they operate on separate schedules, Lior going under first with the decisive completeness of someone who has run out of opinions for the moment, and Asha staying awake longer in the particular quiet way she stays awake, not demanding anything, simply present and attentive until she decides she has seen enough of the current hour and closes her eyes with the same deliberateness she brings to everything else. When they go down together it produces a specific quality of silence in the east wing that is different from the ordinary afternoon quiet of the manor. It is the silence of both of them at once, which is rarer and therefore more noticeable.Selene stands in the doorway of the twins' room for a moment after she pulls the door to.Both cots settled. Lior on his stomach with his face toward the window. Asha on her back with her hands open at her sides, which is how she sleeps, the par

~Selene's POV~She finds him on a Tuesday morning.She is coming down from the east wing at seven-forty with Lior on her hip, Lior having concluded his pre-breakfast commentary on the ceiling of the upper hallway and redirected his attention to the question of what is happening on the ground floor, which requires proximity to the ground floor to properly investigate. She comes down the main staircase and turns toward the kitchen and she sees the entrance hall as she passes it and she stops.Dax is at the entrance.He is standing to the left of the main door in the position that offers the clearest sightline to both the door itself and the hallway leading to the main corridor, which is also the position he occupied at the Silvermere apartment building entrance for the better part of a year. He is in the same jacket he always wears. He has a coffee from somewhere that is not the manor kitchen, which means he has been somewhere this morning before he was here. He looks at her when she st

~Selene's POV~Petra has been in Cresthaven for three weeks.The original plan, to the extent there was a plan, was that she would come for the ceremony and stay for some time afterward, the length of that time left deliberately unspecified because Petra does not make plans she does not intend to keep and she was not yet certain how long she intended to stay. She stayed through the ceremony and through the week after it and through the following week, during which she located the event coordination firm in the south district by some method she did not explain, went to their office once without telling anyone, and came back to the manor with the particular expression she has when she has done something she is satisfied with and is waiting for the right moment to produce it.She produces it on a Wednesday evening.The twins are in the east wing with Miriam. Caden is at Pack Hall for a late call with the Hollowcrest delegation about the alliance mid-year review. The kitchen is quiet, the
