“What do you want, Smith?” I demanded. Why did he have to call me right now? Why when I was about to have what should have been one of the most important conversations of my life?

“What the hell are you so bitchy about?” He sounded more hurt than shocked though so I tried to quell a little of my irritation.

“Nothing. I’m just…tired.” So fucking tired of living this way and not being able to tell him how much Griff meant to me.

“You over at your new guy’s house or something?”

“No.”

“Sure.”

“Why do you care where I am?”

“Because staying over with a guy is a bad idea. You should be smarter than that.”

If I could have reached through my phone, I swear I would’ve strangled my brother. “Besides lecturing me why did you call?”

“I keep trying to explain to Mom that I cannot have social media accounts. She doesn’t understand why I can’t see the pictures she’s apparently posting on Facebook. And, dear God, I hope they’re not of that pack of hers because it’s just embarrassing. I could hack in but that seems tedious.”

I took two deep breaths. That didn’t help. Counting backward from ten didn’t either.

“Hannah? You there?” Smith demanded. Yep, I was gonna kill him. I did not have time for Mom or Facebook right now.

“I’m here. Just tell her you’d rather her text them to you.” There. That was a workable solution.

“I’m not an idiot. I did try that. Apparently she posted something about me, and she wants me to see how many likes it has.” Secretly, I hoped it was a naked baby picture, because that would serve him right, or maybe that one of him when he was five and got his head stuck between the spindles on the staircase in our house in Germany and was bawling his eyes out. But the disdain was more than apparent in my brother’s tone. It tugged at my heart. For the most part, all of The Sevens hated attention in any form. Smith was no different.

“Here, I’ll check it, screen shot it, and text it over, but I can’t talk to you and do that at the same time.”

“Hang on, that gives me an idea.” I heard his keyboard clicking. “Is her account private?”

“No, because she doesn’t understand that anyone can see it. I’ve tried to explain it, but I haven’t gotten far.”

“Then this’ll work.” I heard him typing.

“What will work?” I told myself not to care just to get off the phone, but I was curious.

“I have a few of my clients’ social media account info since we catch a lot of cheaters via Facebook. I can just log in through their account, and see whatever it is she’s posted.”

“Perfect. I’m going now.”

My mind reviewed what had already happened that morning. Maybe I should’ve put the sketchbook away when I’d heard him get up. Maybe we weren’t quite ready for that talk yet. Impatience would forever be my downfall. We had a week. I had to bide my time and take this slowly because men could be both stupid and stubborn.
