This is incredible. Oh dear, Aurora! Everyone is fussing over me they have not even acknowledged Aurora or Hermes. Can they not see her or what? I sneak a peak at Michael and mouth a 'Help'. A small smile creeps on his mouth. "Hola mi familia, it is good to be back with you all. However, as you can see, Summer is pregnant and needs to rest. As it is, we do not have much time anymore. Allow her to rest, please." "Oh, you are right my dear. She needs to rest. But first, you have to freshen up and eat something. We will catch you up on everything after you have had ample rest."

But when Shaira departed and Summer witnessed Jacob's anguish, a strange sense of detachment towards her began to creep in. Summer was a protective mother who despised seeing her children in pain.

I couldn’t help but nuzzle closer to him. “It’s okay my love. I got you. You’re safe. He will never hurt you again, no one will hurt you.” He whispered. Before I faded into darkness, I said, “Triplets.” Blaze “Triplets?” I repeated looking at Summer. “That’s right, that skank referred to some little monsters.” Summer said turning towards me. “She has kids. Three of them?” I said out loud cradling her in my arms.

What do normal people do when they come to Crete for a summer vacation? They probably post photos on I*******m with captions like "Sun, sea, sand #blessed," sip ouzo in the evenings, smash plates, and just soak up that effortless island vibe. And what am I doing? I’m covering my ears with my hands, counting prime numbers backward in my head, and trying not to lose my absolute mind. I am in a literal marathon to stay sane.

"O-Of course. We're friends." Satisfied with my response, Bethany finally let go of my arm and followed me inside. I opened the door, but the office was pitch-black. "Dad, these are the friends I mentioned, the ones coming to work here for the summer," I said cautiously. Before I could introduce them, they pushed past me and crowded into the room. "Hello, Mr. Parker. We're here for the summer jobs. May I know what the pay is like? Is ten thousand dollars a month okay? Oh, and I'm not really into factory work. Can I get an office job instead?"

But the moment I hauled my suitcase up to the car door, Mom's hand shot out to stop me. "There's no room. Maybe you should just sit this one out." She glanced back at the seat behind her. "Aiden doesn't want you along, either. He's not feeling well right now, so give way to him." My knuckles went white on the suitcase handle, and my throat turning bitter.

"Gale!" Summer ran in in a hurry. She quickly hugged Gale. "You scared me to death, how are you?" Summer began to examine her for injuries. Seeing her best friend, Gale broke down. "Summer...the child is gone. I didn't protect him well. I'm sorry, you can't be a godmother, Summer… I'm really sorry. It's useless. I'm so incompetent..." she murmured. Summer burst into tears.
