The bliss of the wedding night had lasted exactly two weeks. By the start of the third, my hormones decided to turn my entire personality into a high-stakes hockey game where the rules changed every ten minutes.

It wasn't just being "emotional." It was a volcanic shift in my internal climate. One minute, I was staring at a bowl of strawberries, weeping because they looked "too lonely," and the next, I was convinced that the way Jax was buttering his toast was a deliberate, passive-aggressive sl

    Chapter 6The bakery window was smashed all the way through. My mom was sweeping up glass in her house slippers at three forty in the morning like this was normal.Rook parked his black SUV crooked at the curb and killed the engine. The street was quiet except for the police cruiser idling out front, lights off."Stay in the car," he said."No," I said, already opening my door."Mara.""That's my mom," I said. "Move."He followed me anyway, close enough that I felt him at my back when I pushed through the busted front door. The bell jingled, broken and sad.June Ellis looked up from her broom. Flour in her gray hair. A smear of red paint on her cheek that I first thought was blood and then realized was spray paint. Her eyes went from me, to Rook filling up her entire doorway, to me again."Rose," she said. "What are you doing here. Who is this.""Mom," I said. My voice cracked. "Are you hurt.""I'm fine," she said, sharp. "Answer me.""This is Elian," I said. "Rook. My boss."June's f

    Chapter 5"You're fired," Silas said, even though he wasn't the one who hired me.Rook laughed. It was not a nice sound. "You don't get to fire my staff, Silas.""She's not staff, she's a PR nightmare," Silas said. He turned his phone toward me again. The photo from the school filled the screen. Rook's hand on my back. My hand holding Lily's. The headline screaming about a brawl. "Nike called me personally, Elian. Personally. They want a wholesome family guy, not whatever this is.""What is that supposed to mean," I asked."It means you're bad optics," Silas said. "No offense. You're sweet. But you're not WAG material and you know it."Rook stepped between us so fast I almost missed it. "Say that again to her face and I'll break yours.""Elian," Silas said, sighing like we were children. "Think. You have a custody hearing coming. Vanessa's lawyer is already using this. You think a judge is going to give full custody to a guy shacking up with the help three days after she moved in.""W

    Chapter 4Vanessa did not come to the school alone. She came with a man in a suit carrying a folder with Lily's name on it, and a smile that said she had already won.The principal, Ms Alvarez, stood up fast. "Mrs Rousseau, this is a disciplinary meeting, not a custody hearing.""Actually," the man in the suit said, "I'm Mark Dennison, Ms Rousseau's counsel. We're just observing today. Given the recent developments."Rook's hand was still warm on my back. He did not move it."Get out," Rook said quietly."Elian," Vanessa said, soft, for the room. "I'm just worried about Lily. She punched a child. That's not like her. Not until certain influences moved in."Lily slid off her tiny chair and walked straight to me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face in my sweater."Hi, baby," Vanessa said. "Come say hi to Mommy."Lily shook her head. No.Ms Alvarez cleared her throat. "Tommy called Ms Ellis a name. Lily defended her. While we do not condone hitting, I understand the

    Chapter 3"Do not read the comments," Rook said.He was standing in my bedroom doorway at six in the morning holding my phone like it was evidence at a crime scene. He wore gray sweatpants and a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. His hair was wet. He looked like he had not slept."Give that back," I said. I was sitting cross legged on the bed in an oversized sleep shirt. No bra. Great first impression, Mara."No," he said. "You don't need to see that garbage.""Rook," I said. "I already saw it. Priya sent me seventeen screenshots before midnight."His jaw tightened. "Then why are you still scrolling.""Because I'm an idiot," I said. "Hand it over."He didn't. He walked in, set the phone face down on my nightstand, and sat on the edge of my bed like he belonged there. The mattress dipped under his weight."Listen to me," he said. "This happens every three months. Some girl, some photo, some story. It blows over in forty eight hours. You just have to stay off your phone.""Some girl," I

    Chapter 2Her mother did not come alone. She came with a phone already recording and a smile that did not reach her eyes.Elian hit the intercom button again. His knuckles were white."Vanessa," he said. "You can't just show up.""I'm Lily's mother," she said, sweet and sharp through the speaker. "I can show up whenever I want. Buzz me up, Elian. Or do you want me to tell Security all about your new live in girlfriend."I stood up fast. Lily was still tucked against my ribs."I'm not," I started.Elian held up a hand. He did not look at me. "Go to your room, Lilypad.""No," Lily said, quiet."Lily," he said."I want Mara," she said.Vanessa's voice cut back in. "Oh my god, is that her. Hi, sweetie. Mommy's here."The elevator dinged before Elian could stop it. She had a key card. Of course she had a key card.She stepped out in heels that clicked on the hardwood and a cream coat that probably cost more than my mom's monthly rent. Blonde, perfect, camera ready. She lowered her phone wh

    Chapter 1The kid stealing from my bag was not part of the interview prep. She looked up at me with cookie crumbs on her chin and said, sorry, I was hungry, are these for sale.I crouched down in the lobby of what was very clearly the most expensive building I had ever set foot in. My clogs squeaked on the marble. Flour was still on my sleeves from the bakery shift that morning. I had not even had time to change."No, honey," I said. "Those are snickerdoodles. They were supposed to be my bribe for your dad."She blinked. She had dark curls pulled back messy and a pink backpack that was almost bigger than her. She could not have been more than five."My dad doesn't like cookies," she said. "He likes protein.""Then your dad is wrong," I said. "Everybody likes cookies."She giggled. It was a quiet little sound, like she was not sure she was allowed to. Then she reached into my tote again."Hey," I said. "Thief.""I'm Lily," she said, completely unbothered. "What's your name.""Mara. Mar
