The mirror in your bedroom holds the evening's soft lamplight, painting long, gentle shadows across the walls. You study your own reflection, tracing the lines of your face with your eyes.

Remy Valois leans against your doorframe, arms crossed, his dark eyes steady on you. Your brother's best friend is here, in your home, and he just heard everything you didn't mean for anyone to hear.
