SAL

Spending the day in preparation for Em’s evening arrival, I clean my truck, get a haircut, and manage to have a long chat with Serene about Emily. I tell her everything—the issues with Iris and Cas, the fracturing in my soul torn between here and Boston, and finally a run-down over the girl I have loved since the day she was born.

Her only reaction is that Emily sounds, “Wonderful, beautiful, and perfect,” and that takes me completely by surprise. She borrows Jack’s new truck and heads off to her house in Taos for the weekend, leaving the house for us. Her only request being if Emily decides to stay longer, please communicate. I know whose name is on the title of the house—mine, but I have tried to honor as many of Kaci’s wishes as possible, including letting Serene continue to stay here.

It is not the reaction I anticipate. For weeks, Serene has been acting off. Maybe she regrets letting Zoe go to a man like Delarte Cristos. Maybe all the quiescent speculation that her and Jack have rekindled their long-time romance has sent her running.

The moment she leaves. I head to the store to stock up the refrigerator for the weekend. When I get back home, I unpack the groceries, tidy up the house a bit, and bring more firewood by the back door.

Serene left me the key to her bedroom, encouraging us to stay there. I change the linens, put candles out, and leave music playing.

I shower in her bathroom, letting the water calm my mind. Serene seems genuinely happy for me. “Maybe some normalcy would do you well.”

Having already made her opinion known about Iris, she thought she was trouble. The night after I have Cas escorted away from Juliet and disciplined—and fucked—Iris, Serene found me drowning in a bottle of whiskey in the kitchen.

“I know she gets under your skin, but I really don’t think she is a healthy option for you. I know Iris is your best friend, but you are also always fighting. And that isn’t going to get better with time. She has issues, Sal.”

Maybe Iris did, but in that constant tug-of war I find so appealing—Iris always challenges my Dom. Serene and Jack have both warned me to back down since the Great Escape to New Orleans. Unless I want to go see her next door, she is essentially out of my life the next four months. I told them to do this. I begged in an email—a whole slew of people—someone please give Iris a private contract. Jack and Serene both responded.

The only contingency—I agreed to hand over the lead to put the stops on me. I know I am fucking addicted to that girl. I will go off the rails with her because she does something to me. I get crazy with Iris in every imaginable way a man can lose it.

That is why Serene is acting like a damn cheerleader with the Emily thing.

Any girl but Iris will get her blessing.
