JULIETTEOn the day my husband's brother was buried, I asked him for a divorce.Sebastian stared at me like I had spoken a different language. "Because I took a slap meant for Delphine?"Delphine. He said her name so gently, like it belonged to something breakable.I smiled, and I felt how cold it was on my own face. "Yes. That's exactly why."A single slap should not have been enough to end a marriage. But the mark on Sebastian's cheek that night had said everything the rest of the family refused to see. He had stepped in front of his own sister in law without a single moment of hesitation, and every person in that room had gone quiet watching him do it. Every person except me. I had simply stood there, holding my glass of wine, wondering how many other rooms he had done that in without me ever noticing.Three nights earlier, on our wedding anniversary, I flew out to surprise him.I had planned the whole trip in secret.

"You spent three years keeping a locked drawer full of someone else's photos, and you want to be upset that a man I haven't spoken to in three years said five word

JULIETTEFor one full second, nobody on that driveway moved.Then everyone moved at once.Sebastian reached the front door before I did, Adrian right behind me, Constance already screaming Delphine's name from somewhere inside the house. I found them in the front hallway, Delphine on the floor with her back against the wall, one hand pressed to her stomach, her face gray in a way that scared me more than any of the shouting had."What happened," Sebastian demanded, dropping to his knees beside her."I don't know." Rosa's hands were shaking so badly she nearly dropped the phone. "She just went down. She said something about cramping and then she couldn't get back up.""Call an ambulance," I said. "Now, Rosa. Not the family doctor. An ambulance.""I already am, ma'am."Sebastian looked up at me, something raw and unguarded crossing his face for the first time since the papers were signed.
