Standing in the doorway of Kittâs room, I rubbed the heel of my hand over my chest. It had been three days since Iâd watched her walk down the drive, a backpack pulling at her shoulders while she lugged a heavy duffel bag at her side.
Iâd told myself Iâd call and make sure sheâd actually left the country, but I hadnât done it.
Part of me was afraid she wouldnât, and Iâd feel compelled to follow up on my threat to have her forced out. I was going to have enough difficulty looking at my niece and nephew again once I brought them home to pack up before we left for Monaco. Iâd seen them briefly the night before, visiting the home of Berlinâs Minister of Youth, Mila Kelly. It had been nearly impossible to leave them, but Iâd done so.
In truth, I likely could have taken them with me to the airportâI doubted Mila Kelly would have stopped me. We could have flown straight to Monaco, and I could have cuddled the children. Not that I knew much about cuddling, but my mother did, surely. We could wait for the German authorities to solve the murder of my sister and brother-in-law while we dealt with the grim and necessary task of laying them to rest.
But it hadnât felt right.
Both Josef and Karol had been content enough with Mila. Chancellor Ava Neumann had been quite right about that. Mila Kelly had four-year-old twin boys, and both Conrad and Darrick had clearly managed to keep my niece and nephew distracted. Iâd been surprised at just how easily theyâd done so. Surprised, and a little dismayed, something that Mila had clearly seen.
Mila was an attractive woman with smooth ebony skin. At nearly six feet tall, she cut a very commanding figure. As the children played, sheâd spoken to me in a low, calm voice, explaining that my niece and nephew were too young to easily understand the finality of death. Josefâs grasp of it was more concrete than Karolâsâshe seemed to have already forgottenâbut even Josef didnât fully understand yet.
That was why they so easily played with the two twins and Milaâs big, bear-like husband, a man easily my height, but with a broad barrel chest, a big laugh, and gingery red hair that curled madly around his wide, friendly face. He spoke German with an Irish accent, an interesting combination if ever Iâd heard one, and even with my foul mood, heâd managed to make me smile a time or two.
And the children had laughed and shrieked and played like nothing was wrongâright up until it was time for me to leave. Then theyâd begged me to stay, and Karol had started to cry when I said I couldnât.
Even now, hours later, I felt sick with guilt.
It was for the best, I told myself.
I had enough to handle and worrying about how the children were processing the loss of their parents while I still struggled to find answers was more pressure than I needed to take on.
