Brooklyn's POV

"Give that back." I reached across for it.

Sawyer pulled it further away, turning it over in her hands, reading the outside of it. "There's no name on it."

"Sawyer — "

"So either you bought yourself a gift box which would be very on brand for you, or someone gave it to you and you've been carrying it around all day without opening it which is — "

"Give it — "

A hand came from the row behind us and plucked it clean out of Sawyer's grip before either of us could react.

    Emerson's POV"I don't have to explain where I sleep to anyone," I said.Riley stared at me.The room was very quiet around us. Morning light coming through the gap in the curtains, her bag on her shoulder, the folded t-shirt on the chair between us like a small precise statement."That's your response," she said slowly."That's my response."She looked at me for a long moment. Something was working behind her eyes — the careful, composed version of her processing something that had gone further than she had expected."Is that how much you dislike me?" she said. Her voice was steady but there was something underneath it. "Or is it because of the nanny?"I went still."Because I've been watching," she continued. "Since last night. Since the hallway. Since the kitchen." She held my gaze. "I'm not imagining it.""Riley — ""Is it her?" she said. "Just tell me. Is it the nanny you're crushing on?"I crossed the room in four steps.She held her ground — I'll give her that. She didn't step

    Brooklyn's POVThe knock came just after one in the morning.I had been half asleep — that shallow kind where you're aware of the house around you but not fully in it. I heard the knock and came to properly and lay still for a moment thinking I had imagined it.It came again.I sat up and reached for the lamp on my nightstand."Just a second."I got up, pulled the door open, and blinked against the hallway light.Riley was standing outside my door.She was wearing Emerson's t-shirt. I recognised it immediately — dark grey, slightly too large on her, the same one I had seen hanging over his desk chair earlier this week. Her hair was down and her makeup had been carefully redone at some point in the last few hours, the kind of effort that says I was waiting and I wanted to look like I hadn't been.She looked at me. Then past me into my room."Have you seen Emerson?" she said.I kept my face completely still. "No.""He hasn't come to bed." She said it plainly, without making it a complai

    Brooklyn's POVHis door opened before I had taken three steps."Why did you point her to my room?"I turned around. He was standing in his doorway with his hand still on the handle and the question sitting on his face like it had been waiting since the hallway downstairs."She asked where your room was," I said simply."And you just showed her.""That's generally what happens when someone asks for directions." I kept my voice even. "She's a guest. She was going to find it eventually.""That's not the point.""Then what is the point, Emerson?" I turned fully to face him. "Your father wants you to spend time with her. She's here. She's in the guest room, not your room, which is exactly what you wanted." I spread my hands. "What is the problem?""The problem is that nobody asked me." He pushed off the doorframe. "My father makes decisions. Riley agrees with them. The Holloways agree with them. Everyone is very happy making arrangements for my life and nobody — " he stopped. His jaw shift

    Brooklyn's POVPatrick's voice carried clearly from the entrance hallway."It's a wonderful idea." He said it with the warm certainty of a man who had decided something and was now watching it happen. "You two could use the time. Get to know each other properly."I stopped moving in the kitchen and listened without meaning to."They'll be married someday." Patrick said it the way he said most things — not as a question, not as a suggestion. Just a fact he had already filed. "Better to start building something now."James Holloway agreed immediately, the enthusiasm of a father who has been hoping for this outcome for longer than he's admitted.Mrs. Holloway said something warm and approving.And Riley said, "I think that's a great idea."I started moving again. Plates to the cupboard. Glasses in the rack. Normal things.I was not listening.I was absolutely listening.---I came through to the entrance hallway to collect the last of the glasses just as the Holloways were leaving. Riley

    Brooklyn's POVA beat. One single beat where Emerson absorbed what I had just done.Then he exhaled slowly through his nose and shook his head with the expression of someone resigned to playing along with something they had not agreed to."You've completely ruined it," he said. His voice was flat but he aimed it at me rather than Riley which was the right direction. "The whole point was that she wouldn't know.""I'm sorry," I said again. "I assumed she already knew.""Why would she already know if it was a surprise?""I said I was sorry."He looked at Riley. Something passed over his face — the warmth he had been producing all evening, slightly more genuine this time because he was working with it rather than just displaying it. "Ignore everything she just said."Riley laughed.It was a real laugh. Short and surprised and it dropped some of the careful composure she had been maintaining since the hallway."That's really thoughtful," she said. She looked at me and then at him and there

    Brooklyn's POVHe didn't answer.One second. Two. His mouth had opened and now it wasn't closing and nothing was coming through it and the silence stretched long enough to become its own kind of answer.I nodded slowly."Right," I said.I walked past him.He turned. "Brooklyn — ""It's fine." I kept moving toward the door. "Go back to your guests."I opened my bedroom door and stepped out into the hallway.And stopped.Riley was standing outside my door.Not close to it — not with her ear pressed against it or anything that obvious. Just standing in the hallway in the way people stand when they have arrived somewhere and then reconsidered whether to knock. She looked at me when I came out and something moved quickly across her face before she composed it.We looked at each other.I had absolutely nothing to say.Riley opened her mouth.Emerson stepped out of my room behind me.The three of us stood in the hallway and the silence had a very specific quality — the quality of something t

    Brooklyn's pov "Time to feast."I heard Emerson say — cleats still on, grass-stained from soccer practice, heading straight for the kitchen like the fridge owed him something.I stayed on the couch and waited.The silence that followed was deeply satisfying."What the — " A pause. Then louder. "Why

    Brooklyn's pov "I'm really sorry, Mr. Weston. I can't work for you."The words came out before I could stop them. Patrick turned from the hallway and looked at me slowly, the way someone does when they're deciding how serious you are."Brooklyn." His voice was calm. "You are contracted through th

    Brooklyn's pov "Move!"Emerson shoved past me before I could even process what was happening. He threw himself over Daisy and me, arms spread wide, taking the full weight of the branch across his back.The crack was loud. Then silence.I scrambled to my feet, heart hammering. "Emerson — ""I'm fin

    Brooklyn's pov"Teacher f***er."I heard it the second I walked through the doors of Westfield Academy. Nobody said it to my face. They never did. Just loud enough for me to catch it, quiet enough for them to deny it.I kept walking.Two weeks. That's how long this rumour had been following me arou
