Dad, the insurance executive who played linebacker in college. Mom, who volunteers at church and plans perfect dinner parties. Emily, my younger sister, is recently engaged to a lawyer. “Sounds very…” Miles searches for the word. “Traditional,” I supply. “I was going to say ‘structured.’” I almost smile. “That too.” He’s quiet for a moment, still looking at his sketches. “Do they know?”

Like the king?" Grandpa asked and everyone's eyes went wide

I needed to learn how to drive as well, so I could drive too. Soon, we walked through the doors of a modern home. The house was big, not as big as the Alphas’ mansion, but it was big enough for a family. It had two storeys and elegant modern features. “Welcome to our house,” Lucia said as we entered, only to find a few people in the living room.

"But here we are. Mama with her PhD and full professorship. Dada still running Sterling Corporation—somehow at seventy-three." "Distinguished seventy-three," Alexander muttered. "Thomas being peak annoying teenager. Leo being peak chaotic twelve-year-old. Emma and Mason being the best cousins. And me—graduating high school with honors, heading to Columbia in the fall." Everyone cheered. "Our family isn't conventional. Never has been. But it's ours. Built on love and stubbornness and refusing to let the world tell us who to be."
