CHAPTER ONE

When I let s in the foyer and walked to the kitchen It was a large roorill in the lanced around and skimmed where his office was, I knew I didn’t need to look further He wasn’t there I saw a note left on the counter and grabbed it

‘Heya, Sammy Had to fly to Boston Be back in deuces Mi casa es su casa and I mean that There’s a tub of condoms in your bathroom Tell your mom I live to piss her off C ya in dos dias, peaches! G’

The note fluttered down as I let go of it and turned to survey the house When et to know me, no one had kno literally he meant it He ave me a key, extended his wish that I’d stay with him every now and then, Analise had flipped her lid Plates had been shattered Mugs were thrown across the room She kicked a few vases over When she had picked up a wine glass, she finally hesitated before setting it back down Seeing that, Mason and Logan both bent over in laughter

James stood in the back and waited It see, but when my mom started to quiet down, he scooped her up in his arms and whisked her from the room I didn’t hear a word from my mother for three days after that, so whatever James told her must’ve worked A week later,fake ways she’d taken up e moved into the Kade mansion

Analise Su to be Analise Summers Kade at the start of the sus, and she was excited when she exclaileeful when she noted the ironic ti

My hate returned for her at that moment She didn’t care She turned back to the television with her wine, and then her phone started lighting up I heard enough to know that she was planning so before Garrett extended his first hoone, David included, but Analise stayed home Jaht, to stay with him for an entire week the next Monday Today was Monday, and when I returned hoenuine words to me in nearly a month

"Are you sure you have to go? I don’t think it’s safe He flies back to Boston all the time His firm is still there What if he’s not there? I don’t want you to be alone Sao Stay here You can stay with him another time e know he’ll be there for sure I’m not comfortable with this"

It went on and on like that It was on the tip of ue to remind her that I wouldn’t be alone, but that wasn’t a conversation I wanted to remind her about She disapproved of my relationship with Mason, and I knew she would always disapprove James hadn’t liked it either There’d been a few tense conversations between father and son, but Mason never shared as said He always shrugged and commented that Jaet for a while That’d been the pattern for the last three ot intowith Mason and Logan, but I was excited to live in a house all by myself Garrett would probably be there, but like Analise had said--a part of me was okay if he wasn’t Peace That’s what I wanted My life had been too draot inside, read the note, and a sense of disappointlanced at the clock, I knew it’d be hours until Mason would show up

It was five now I had four hours to kill

And then I was doing so I had my cellphone out and I had already pushed her nu on Then I blinked and I held my breath

When Becky answered, ot clumsy The phone fell fro up! Please I dropped the phone Got it--" I panted as I plastered ainst my ear "Hey! Hi! How are you?"

There was silence on the other end

I frowned but rushed out, "You picked up I’ Can you talk toyou’d talk to rew painful My heart beat in ritted my teeth, but then she replied in a quiet voice, "Why are you calling me?"

"Uh, because I miss you You haven’t talked to me for three months, since…" I clasped my eyes shut "I’m just happy that you answered! Thank you Thank you for that"

There was soain
