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 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.

"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.
