I woke up alone.

The other side of the bed was still warm.

One of Theo’s rabbits lay upside down near the pillows. Lena had left one sock twisted into the blanket near my feet.

Morning light stretched across the sheets.

Outside the window, the sky was thin and quiet, as though nothing had happened.

I lowered my eyes toward the bedside table instead of the drawer beneath it.

The headphones remained inside.

My hand moved before I noticed it. My fingers closed lightly around my wrist.

The scar sat

    NoraMonday slipped away quickly.By the time I stepped out of the final meeting, the floor had already begun to empty.I collected my handbag, switched off the light in my office and walked toward the lift.I stepped outside.The black SUV still stood where Diana had parked it earlier.Its polished surface reflected the fading light, making it impossible to pretend I hadn't noticed it all day.The driver's door opened almost immediately.A man in a dark suit stepped out and straightened his jacket before walking toward me.He looked to be in his early forties, with neatly trimmed hair."Good evening, Ms. Vance,"He stopped a respectful distance away."My name is Daniel."I inclined my head."Good evening."He held a small envelope in one hand."Mr. Sinclair's assistant asked me to give you this if we met."I accepted it without opening it.I looked past him at the SUV."I haven't decided whether I'll keep the vehicle.""Yes, ma'am.""I intend to return it."He nodded once."I underst

    CharlieMonday arrived with a calendar full of meetings and a desk covered in contracts that should have demanded my complete attention.Instead, I found myself reading the same page for the third time.The figures in front of me refused to stay in place.Every time I reached the bottom of the report, my thoughts returned to Saturday afternoon.Not to Alexander himself, but to the simple fact that he had driven Nora home.I set my pen beside the folder and leaned back in my chair.Victor had been with the twins; that meant Nora hadn't had a car available.She shouldn't have to arrange her day around whether someone else happened to be available.A knock sounded against the door."Come in."Diana stepped inside carrying a tablet."You asked me to remind you about the investment meeting at eleven.""I remember."She looked at me, waiting for an instruction.When it became obvious I wasn't reaching for the documents she'd brought, she looked at me more closely."Is everything all right?"

    Sunday mornings had always been the quietest part of Margaret's week.Sunlight spilled across the breakfast table, warming the cup of tea beside her newspaper. She had read the same paragraph twice without taking in a single word. Her attention kept drifting toward the sideboard where her handbag rested.The receipt from the DNA laboratory was still inside.She had told herself she would be patient.The results would come when they came.Her phone rang before she reached for the teacup.She looked at the screen, it was the laboratory.Her fingers hesitated over the answer button before she accepted the call."Mrs. Sinclair?""Speaking.""Good morning. Your DNA analysis has been completed. The report is ready for collection whenever it's convenient."Margaret closed her eyes briefly."I can be there within the hour.""We'll have everything prepared.""Thank you."She ended the call and lowered the phone on the table.She stood up quickly and walked upstairs, then changed into a white b

    CHARLIEBy the time I returned to the mansion it was already dark.My hands remained on the steering wheel, but my thoughts stayed behind at Nora's house.Nora's smile. The one that had appeared when I reminded her about the ducks.I had forgotten that memory for years.The moment Lena laughed, it had come back as though it had never really left.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as another memory followed."I was tired of believing I needed proof every time I wanted you to believe me."The words had stayed with me from the moment she said them.I had searched for an answer while driving home, I still hadn't found one.The gates opened as my car approached.I drove through them before bringing the car to a stop beneath the entrance canopy.Mrs. Halloran opened the front door before I reached it."Welcome home sir.""Thank you."She took my keys while I loosened my tie."There is one thing you should know."I looked at her."Miss Vance is here."My hand stopped halfway to the k

    NORA "What are you doing here?"Before Charlie answered, Lena smiled brightly."We're back."Theo adjusted the robot in his hands."Hi, Mum."I looked from one of them to the other.Victor closed the front door behind Alexander."Mr. Sinclair dropped them home."My eyes moved to Victor."I see."Lena nodded a little too quickly."We're home now."Theo nodded at his sister.Charlie rested one hand in his pocket."The twins asked if I could see Theo's robot before I left."Theo lifted it carefully."I've nearly finished it.""I wanted to show him," Lena added.I looked at Victor."They haven't been causing trouble?"Victor smiled."They've been excellent company."Lena folded her hands behind her back."I told you we would behave."Theo nodded, then said, “And we did."I looked at both of them for another moment.There was a brightness in their faces that usually meant they were hiding something.I couldn't tell what.Charlie bent slightly until he was almost level with them."I should

    CHARLIE Saturday afternoons were usually quiet at the mansion.My suit hung outside the wardrobe, already pressed for the afternoon's photoshoot. Celeste had reminded me about it twice the previous evening, and my watch told me I had just enough time to change before leaving.My phone vibrated across the bedside table.I reached for it without looking at the screen."Hello?""Mr. Charlie?"A smile reached my face before I had time to think."Theo.""I knew you'd know my voice.""I'd be worried if I didn't."A small laugh came through the speaker."We wanted to ask you something.""I'm listening.""Can Lena and I come to your house?"I looked at the suit hanging beside the wardrobe.Lena's voice suddenly reached me from somewhere beside him."We're bored."Theo lowered the phone for a moment."You weren't supposed to say it like that.""I only said the true part."I laughed."I can hear both of you.""We know," Lena replied. "So... can we come?""You'll have to let me speak to Mr. Vic

    The light in Theo's room was off and that didn't stop Lena from talking. Theo lay on his back staring at the ceiling while his sister moved beneath her blanket she brought to his room for what felt like the hundredth time. Sleep was far from the two of them. The birthday had ended more than twen

    NORAI stood in the corridor of Mercy General, and I was soaked to the bone. My hair was plastered to my face, and every time I moved, my shoes made a heavy sound on the floor. The nurse who called me was waiting at the ICU doors. She looked at my wet clothes, then at my face, but she didn't say an

    NORA"Sign it, Nora."Charlie was standing by the window. He didn't turn around. He had been standing like that for over an hour, looking at the Sinclair estate like I wasn't even in the room with him.The lawyer stood in the doorway and cleared his throat. He did not meet my eyes."Mrs. Sinclair,
