"I heard my name," a woman as short as me strode into the room. She wore a red sundress with floral print, her blonde hair cropped into a bob with chestnut highlights throughout. She had high cheekbones and a heart shaped face with a button nose and full lips. Her eyes shifted to me and their gray had my breath hitching. The resembled a full moon with flakes of black sparkling in their depths, "I'm Heather," she introduced with a bright smile showing off her pearly whites.

"Good morning, Stuart," Mrs. Alice Gates welcomed him, her tone reflecting the weight of their family's stature.

I cleared my throat as I summoned courage to speak, ‘’Uh, you really do not have to train me if you do not want to. ‘’Aside, the fact that I have to spend more time with you and the thought of you being a slow learner, I really do not have a problem with it.’’ He stated without sparing me a glance.

“No, Not Jake.” I frown. “It wasn’t him.” Aiden exhales. “That’s good.” “It was someone quiet,” I add. “Someone who thinks this is a rescue.” Mama’s lips thin. “They always do.” The floor hums Not loud Just enough. Papa looks down. “You feel that.” “Yes,” Mama says. Aiden mutters, “Please tell me that’s not happening again.” “It is,” I say. Mama grabs my shoulders. “Kenny. Listen to me.

The one who gave me snowmen and cotton candy and blue oceans. Home is you Mateo.”
