Eden eventually turns a corner in her recovery. One night, I go to pick up Alix after my mom gets back from her shift at the hospital. The two sisters are huddled together on the couch, watching a horror movie. Alix jumps up when I walk through the door, pausing the movie to come and give me a kiss hello.

From the couch, Eden gives me a shy smile. “Hi,” she says.

“How you doing?”

“Better,” she nods. “Thanks.”

The way she’s looking at me, eyes wide and intense, it’s clear that she’s thanking me for more than just asking about her health. It’s the first time the two of us have really spoken since we brought her here to Ma’s house.

“Lug Nut was asking about you today,” I tell her casually. It’s true. Lug Nut has mentioned Eden a few times since the day we got her out of Gonzalo’s clutches. If I didn’t know better, I’d think maybe he has kind of a thing for her.

“He was?” Eden’s face is a mix of embarrassment and curiosity.

“Yeah.” I flash her a grin. “He’ll be happy to hear you’re doing so well.”

“She is, isn’t she?” Alix says proudly. Her arms are wrapped around my waist.

I kiss her forehead. “She is indeed.”

Ma comes out from the kitchen. “Okay, you two go on home now. Eden needs to get her rest, and Alix does, too. I have another shift tomorrow.”

“You two don’t have to watch over me every minute, you know,” Eden fake-pouts, but it’s clear she’s not serious.

“We’re not watching over you,” Alix admonishes her. “We’re fighting for the pleasure of your company.”

Eden rolls her eyes. “Yeah, right.”

It’s so typically sister-like that I almost don’t pay attention to how remarkable it is that Eden is just joking around like this. And then it hits me again that she’s detoxing from fucking heroin.

Maybe — just maybe, I think — everything’s gonna be okay between Alix and Eden.

I want Alix to have a sister again. I want both of them to have this.

“Well,” says Alix, yawning and giving my waist a squeeze. “Okay, then. I’m beat. Take me home, handsome.”

I can’t help but laugh. “Whatever you say, babe.”

We ride home, with her pressed against my back. Even though we’re both tired, she makes a show of stripping off her clothes for me, and squeals with laughter when I lunge across the room and grab her. I lie back and pull her down so she’s straddling me, watching how fucking gorgeous she is while she rides me. We come together, her eyes never leaving mine. Afterwards, she’s asleep in thirty seconds, snoring softly in my arms.

That snore, I decide, is one of my favorite sounds in the whole damn world.
