Splash!

Cold water splashed over Henry as Ann hurled the glass at him. He gasped, jolted back, and every pair of eyes in the restaurant turned toward them.

“I was gone for just a few minutes, Henry,” Ann hissed from her wheelchair, anger trembling in her voice. “And already you’re here flirting with another woman, a waitress, of all people!”

“Ann, wait ” Henry stepped closer, trying to appear calm. “It’s not what you think. I was only asking her about something ”

“Don’t you dare lie to me,” she

    Elliot stood exactly where Lilly had left him, looking at the door she had walked out of, then slowly turning to Zane with the expression of someone who needs a moment to process what just happened.“What was that?”“She was proving a point,” Zane said.Elliot blinked. Then something shifted in his face — the specific look of someone who has just revised their opinion of a person significantly upward. “She’s something else.”“She’s my tutor.”“Are you two—”“You know I don’t do girlfriends.” Zane picked up his water bottle. “Come on. Let’s work out.”They trained hard — the focused, almost punishing kind of session that leaves no room for conversation — and by the end of it both of them were quiet in the satisfied way of people who have used their bodies properly. They headed back to the house still catching their breath.They found Blade on the sofa.With a girl.Who looked up when they came in and said brightly, “I should go — I’ll see you later,” and collected herself and left with

    The morning shift had a particular quality that Lilly had not fully appreciated until she was standing in the middle of it having gone to bed at two in the morning.She moved through the restaurant on autopilot — wiping down the counter, checking the orders, trying to remember why she had agreed to cover this shift — when a voice cut through the noise.“Are you okay?”She looked up.Ethan.Standing at the counter, looking at her with the careful attention she had noticed he gave most things, unhurried and genuine.“I’m yes. I’m okay.” She straightened. “Thank you. For last night. You didn’t have to do that.”He nodded once, accepting the gratitude without making anything of it. “Can I get a burrito?”“Of course.”She put the order in and had it back to him within minutes, sliding it across the counter.“Here you go.”He took it. Paused. “Aren’t you tired? You were at the party until late and now you’re here.”Lilly looked at him. “I didn’t plan the scheduling very well,” she admitted.

    Ethan stood up from the bed and looked between them with the easy composure of someone who knows when a room no longer needs him.“You’re here,” he said to Zane. “I’ll leave you two to it.” He glanced at Lilly briefly. “Take care of yourself.”He walked out.Zane watched him go, then crossed the room and crouched down in front of Lilly, bringing himself to her level. He looked at her properly — not the quick social scan he gave most situations, but the actual kind of looking.“What happened, Mauli? You were fine twenty minutes ago.” He paused. “I looked around and you were gone. What happened?”She looked at her hands. “I just — I remembered something.”“Something like what?”She turned it over in her mind — whether to tell him, how much, where to start — and then her phone rang.She looked at the screen.Mum.“I need to take this,” she said. “Could you step outside for a minute?”“Yeah.” He stood. “Take your time. Text me after.”She nodded.He pulled the door mostly closed behind hi

    “Why is your arm on me like that?”Lilly turned to look at Zane with the specific expression she reserved for things that required immediate correction.Zane didn’t move his arm. “Relax. We need to make this convincing.” He glanced toward the front of the classroom. “Besides — he’s not even looking at us right now.”Ethan was sitting a few seats ahead, turned slightly away, apparently absorbed in something on his desk.Zane picked up the water bottle beside him and threw it toward the front of the room.The entire class turned.Ethan turned with them — and his eyes landed on Zane and Lilly, close together, Zane’s arm draped casually across the back of her chair. Something shifted in his expression. Not nothing. Definitely not nothing.“See?” Zane said quietly, eyes forward. “Told you.”Lilly kept her face neutral and felt quietly triumphant. “You’re going to make this work, aren’t you.”“Obviously.”Across the room, Hannah and Dave exchanged a look — the look of two people who have be

    Lilly stood outside the door and told herself she was not nervous.She knocked.Elliot opened it — looked at her, registered that she was pretty, and produced the particular smirk of someone filing information away for later use.“Hi. I’m Lilly. Zane’s tutor. I came to see him.”“Come in, come in.” He stepped aside with the easy hospitality of someone who considers all visitors equally welcome regardless of context. “Stay here — I’ll have him downstairs in a minute.”She stepped inside and looked around.Trophies everywhere. On shelves, on surfaces, lined up with the casual abundance of people who win things so regularly they’ve stopped finding places to put them. Hockey gear. Photographs. The comfortable disorder of a house shared by people who spend most of their time elsewhere.“Hi.”She turned.A girl stood a few feet away — slightly boyish in her style, sharp-eyed, looking at Lilly with the direct assessing gaze of someone who makes it their business to know things.Is this Jade?

    Saturday?” Lilly asked.“Practice,” Zane said, settling himself on the counter with the easy comfort of someone who considers every surface a valid seat.“Today?”“Evening practice.”“Thursday?”“Practice.”“Friday?”“Music classes.” He looked at her. “See — we’re both busy. This is going to be harder to arrange than I thought.”Lilly came around the counter and stood in front of him. “So when exactly—”“Sunday,” he said. “My place.”She looked at him. “Your place? What if your girlfriend walks in?”“Girlfriend.” He said the word the way one might say a word in a foreign language they don’t speak. “That is genuinely not in my vocabulary. I don’t do that.” He paused. “And yes, it has to be my place — because the person we need to convince lives nearby and she needs to see it with her own eyes.”“Who?”“My best friend’s younger sister. Jade.” He said the name with the particular weight of someone explaining a complicated force of nature. “She runs information on this campus better than

    Days passed.Since she had started living in the Ashford mansion, mornings had slowly found a rhythm. That morning, soft sunlight filtered through the curtains as Zara stood behind Lilly, gently combing through her hair. The little girl sat still, humming quietly, her school uniform already on.She

    Adrian sat alone at the café, his fingers tapping restlessly against the porcelain cup in front of him. He hated waiting. More than that, he hated Dante and he didn’t even know when that hatred had grown this deep. Yet here he was, answering his call.The door finally opened, and Dante walked in, u

    “Is she dead?” Rosey asked.Adrian looked guilty. “I really don’t know if she’s dead or not. But what I do know ” he paused, his voice unsteady, “ I clearly saw Dante run her over. I don’t think she survived.”Rosey sighed.He was in Rosey’s room. She had started staying at Ashford’s mansion with M

    “I invited her,” Victor said evenly, “because she saved my life. That means I carry her blood in me as well. She deserves to be here tonight.”Rosey’s fingers tightened around the glass of wine she was holding. Her smile stayed in place, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“Oh… is that so, big brother?”
