“Sweetie, I’m just dying to talk to my son’s new wife.”

I bite my lip, pacing along the front porch in the early morning mountain air. Ever’s mom is on the phone, and I wouldn’t have answered for anyone but her this early in the morning.

“Well, let’s get together then,” I say.

“How about brunch today? I can come get you around ten. I’m right across the valley, after all.”

I bite my lip. Of course his mother knows where we live, it’s just…

I guess I thought this was our private little oasis. I had it in my head that we were alone out here, away from all the bullshit and everything else. I could pretend like we were married for real in this place. But no, of course Faye knows about our house.

Faye Bloom is the only person that’s not directly involved in this fight for succession, at least as far as I can tell. She’s always loved her sons equally, so I’d be surprised if she picked sides.

Still, I’d better be careful. I’ve always really liked her, but she’s still Ever’s mother.

“That sounds great,” I say.

“Wonderful. It’s a date.”

We say our goodbyes and hang up the phone. I sigh and head back inside. I make some coffee and the smell of it finally lures Ever from his room.

We’re staying in separate rooms right now. We’re still pretending like we’re pretending, so not sleeping together in the same room is part of the game, even if we’re also having sex. It’s all pretty confusing but I get the sense that separate rooms are an important milestone right now.

“Morning,” he grunts. “Were you talking to someone?”

“Your mother,” I say, pouring him a mug.

He coughs. “She’s here?”

“No, she called me.” I pause for a second. “At seven in the morning.”

He chuckles. “She’s probably been awake for hours waiting to call. Seven is plenty late in her mind.”

I sigh. “I’d better get used to that.”

“Yep. Or just don’t answer, like I do.”

“You’re such a good son.”

He grins and salutes me with his coffee before setting it back down on the counter.

“What did she want?”

“Brunch,” I say. “She’s picking me up at ten.”

He whistles. “A Faye Bloom bunch. I guess you really are family now.”

I purse my lips. “Is that a thing?”

“Oh, yeah,” he says. “She gets me to do brunch at least once a month. Doesn’t matter where I am, I’d better get my ass home. I think Whit and his wife do it too.”

I sigh and sit down. It’s strange to think of myself as part of the Bloom family, but…

I am married to Everest, after all.

“Well, I guess I’d better get ready.”

“God luck,” he says. “And if she tries to get you to drink, don’t do it.”

I hesitate, on my way back to my room. “Why not?”

He grins. “She’ll drink you under the table. Trust me.”

“I’m not afraid of your mom.”

“You should be. She’ll get you drunk and extract all your secrets, one by one. Believe me, Faye Bloom seems sweet, but she’s a killer under all those smiles.
