Sam flipped over onto her stomach and yanked her fluffy pillow over her head, but the soft down failed as a barrier against the incessant buzzing tormenting her. It stopped. Silence. Blessed silence.

She rolled over, flopped onto her back and prayed for sleep to find her. She’d tossed and turned all night, memories of Holt’s kisses sending flashes of heat through her body. She’d tried counting sheep, she’d tried counting backwards from one hundred––what a stupid exercise that was––but cool, calm and quiet eluded her. Imagine that.

The last time she’d glanced at the clock it was 2:36 a.m., and damn it, she needed more sleep. She pulled her soft duvet cover up to her chin, snuggled deeper into her comfortable queen bed, and sighed. Her muscles relaxed and she settled into her comfy nest and…

Bam. The phone rang again. What the hell?

“This better be an emergency or I’ll make it one.” She grumbled, snatched up her phone, and did a double take.

No, it wasn’t her reflection, but her mirror image calling on Facetime. At 3:42 a.m.

“Do you have any idea what time it is?” She attempted to soften the snarl, but at this hour, she didn’t have her usual impeccable self-control. Ha.

“Isn’t it around 6 a.m.? When you usually get up?” Dylan offered a sheepish smile. “Did I wake you up?”

“It’s 3:42 a.m., so yes, you did.” Brilliant blue sky, explosions of scarlet, pale pink, and lilac flowers framed her sister like she was the center of a colorful portrait. “Where are you?”

“I’m over in the Luxembourg Gardens and just had the most delicious ham and cheese baguette. With butter and these little cornichon pickles. The food here is amazing—you’d be in heaven. Boulangeries and Patisseries on every block, and I swear they blow the smells out onto the street to tempt you inside.” Dylan’s words flooded out in a rush.

“Did you call me at 4 a.m. to tell me about the food in Paris? Seriously?” She didn’t bother to cover her mouth when she yawned.

Her sister frowned. “No, of course not. I miss you. Won’t you come visit me? Just for a week?”

Something was up. Sam huffed out a breath, punched her pillow again and propped herself into a half-seated position.

“What’s going on? You’re with Lily and I know you two have a blast together. You can’t possibly be bored of Paris. The museums, the artists, the cafes––I don’t understand.” So much for getting any more sleep tonight. More like this morning. Her sister needed to talk this out.

“Paris is incredible, but it would be so much more incredible if you were with me. Aren’t you ready to get out of there?” Dylan’s eyes widened. “And what’s going on, you ask? I had a message from dad to call him, but I wanted to talk to you first.”

Sam bit her lip. She filled in Dylan on her dad’s momentous decision.

“What? He’s never talked about directing once in the last ten years. Not once.” Dylan’s face had paled and panic threaded her usually melodic voice.
