“What if you call him and say your leg’s hurting. Tell him you need him to come over to take a quick look at it?” Nerina asked. She grasped her hands together in a pleading motion, refusing to move until I answered.

“No! I’m not going to pretend I’m in pain, so you can stare at Leander’s butt.” I poured a cup of coffee ignoring her pouting face,

“It’s a glorious butt. I don’t blame her for wanting a fix,” Gia said, glancing up from the magazine she was flipping through to add her two cents.

“I gave you his number. Call him. Text him. You know where he works. I don’t care how you do it, just leave me out of it.” I stepped around Nerina, hoping this was the end of the conversation. I’d never seen her this nervous about a guy. Something about Leander had her undone.

“Maybe I’ll just go to the hospital. I can fake appendicitis,” Nerina said, scowling at me over the lip of her coffee mug.

“Who is having to go to hospital?” Aunt Sophia asked. She’d been sitting in the room the whole time. Her head had been buried in a plate of fried oatmeal.

“No one, Mama. We’re joking about Nerina faking sick, so she can see Dr. Leander again. She has a crush on him,” Gia answered.

“I can help you make sick, dolce. You want me to help?” Aunt Sophia turned to Nerina excitedly.

This was getting out of hand. The last thing anyone needed was Aunt Sophia and Nerina scheming together. That had disaster written all over.

“No one’s pretending to be sick. Nerina’s going to put on her big girl panties and call him like a normal person. We have enough happening to us without adding to it with crazy schemes. We’re not a sitcom.” I turned to each of them as I spoke ensuring how serious I was. I had enough to deal with.

Vee strode into the kitchen before I could make each of them swear on the souls of our dead ancestors that they wouldn’t do anything stupid. My serious mom face would have to be enough. Vee smiled broadly at me, her rows of sharp teeth glistening in the morning sunlight. I was never going to get used to those teeth. She was clad in her usual leather, her dark blue hair in a single braid down her back.

“Hey, Vee. Let me finish chugging my coffee before we take off.” There was no way I was going to do any training before I had finished my cup.

“Hello, Violetta. Hello, Violetta’s family. It is very lovely to see you again. Is everyone well?” Vee asked.

“I have a really big crush on Leander the shifter, but I can’t get up the courage to call him. I’m actually really considering going to the hospital and pretending to be sick, so I can see him,” Nerina blurted out. Her hand flew to her mouth in surprise.

“And I want to help,” Aunt Sophia added, her eyes going round with surprise.
