Papa may be standing in the light, but he’s as shady as a shady businessman can get. He was studying my face to read my silence, his brows knitting with concern, and then he tried an encouraging smile. “Juliette, you’re good at what you do.

Something I’m not sure we’re ready for. “You make it sound simple,” I say. “It’s not simple,” he admits. “It’s just… worth it.” My breath catches slightly. “Worth it,” I repeat. “Yeah.” Silence falls again.
