________Since Ayla….No, since they all left I have had more time to focus on my biggest issue.“Did you find anything out there?” I asked Peter in my office. He was seated opposite me while Gustavo stood by the door guarding as usual even though he was my consigliere.“They’ve started moving again,” Peter said after a moment. “And this time faster than before.”My jaw tightened slightly.“How close?”“Not close enough but with the rate at which they are going. They would be closing in on us anytime soon”I stood slowly, adjusting my suit. I hated having to dress so formally when I was in the office.“They’re already in America.” Peter’s eyes darkened.“You’re sure?” I asked sternly. There was nothing I hated more than mistakes.“I don’t deal in guesses.” He actually doesn’t.I moved toward the window, looking out over the city like it already belonged to someone else.Because if I were right, it soon would.“Does Luke know about this?” I asked gently.That night at the party this is

I had no idea where Rosa had gotten the car, but it was a smart idea. We were outside a local fertility clinic. After our tea this morning, the girls grew scared for me and decided to meet again in the evening, which was now.“Trust me. It took me weeks to find this place, but it’s the best thing to do now with little time” Beth says, looking back.I had no idea until now that she could drive. Crazy but pretty cool.“But is it not too soon-““Too soon? What do you mean too soon? You’re not planning on keeping it, are you?” Rosa faced me with her eyes wide open.I sat in the back while she sat at the passenger's side. She wasn’t smiling, and I sighed.“I am not mentally prepared is what I mean”“You don’t have to be mentally prepared, you just have to be sure you want to do this.
