Ava’s thumbs fly over her screen, typing out a massive message while I toss the potential outfit options for the night onto my bed.

She looks lost in thought as she continues to type away.

“Talking to someone special?” I ask, my tone teasing as I tie the belt of my silk robe a little tighter around my waist.

Ava shrugs one shoulder. “Nothing too important. I just have a lot going on right now at the prison. There was a fight last night and we have a few people staying the night. Just making sure everyone is behaving and healing.”

“I’m really scared of your work sometimes.” I sit at the vanity by the windows and rummage through my makeup. “You’re an attractive woman all alone in the middle of all those criminals.”

“Says the woman married to a criminal,” Ava teases. “Speaking of Christian, do you know where he’s taking you tonight?”

I don’t miss the way she changes the topic away from the prison. Even though I want to, I’m not going to press her.

Ava is free to live her own life just like I’m free to live mine.

I just wish that I knew more of what was going on in hers.

“He asked me what I wanted to do a couple of nights ago after we got back from that awful dinner with Mom and Dad.”

Ava chuckles. “I don’t know if you can call it dinner when half the people there leave before food shows up.”

“I know. I thought that dinner was going to be bad, I just didn’t think it would be that bad. Either way, he asked me where I wanted to go and when I told him that I wanted to go to the amusement park, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.”

Although, I don’t know if it was because he doesn’t want to go to such a crowded public place right now, or if it’s because I want to ride roller coasters until I feel sick.

Ava looks at the pile of clothing on the foot of the bed. “You really think that he’s going to get on a roller coaster with you?”

I shrug and put on my eyeliner. “He agreed to go with me, so I’m sure that he’s fine with it.”

“There’s something about Christian that doesn’t exactly scream the amusement park type.” Ava sighs and adjusts her position on the bed, crossing her legs beneath her. “When are you going to tell me the truth about what’s going on here?”

A lump in my throat threatens to choke me. “How much do you already know?”

“I know he’s the leader of the Herrera cartel.” Ava leans forward. “He’s killed people, though none of those murders have ever been proven.”

I put down the eyeliner.

There’s no way to avoid telling her the truth anymore. It’s clear that she’s been talking to some of the men in the prison about Christian. Though I don’t know where to start, I have to tell her everything.

Losing my sister because I keep lying to her isn’t an option.
