Relationships.

Sander is on the phone to his girlfriend and I smile, watching him. He literally has the goofiest grin on his face while he walks back and forth, talking to her.

I met her when Sebastian and I were in America. We went to her school before we left for New York City—Phoenix was her name, I think. She was cute. Perfect for Sander.

After a few minutes, he hangs up his phone, now frowning. It’s clear he didn’t want to get off the phone with her.

The guys all make fun of him for calling her so much, but I think it’s adorable. He gives her as much time as he can while still being focused on his job. It’s a good balance.

He deserves this. He deserves happiness.

Sander comes over to me, sitting by me on the couch.

“Hey, cuz,” he says.

“Cuz?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, you’re practically family,” he says. “Someday, when you and Sebastian get married, you’ll be my cousin.”

I roll my eyes, but can’t stop my smile.

“Were you talking to Phoenix?” I ask, even though I already know the answer.

“Yeah,” he says, his face immediately lighting up at the mention of her name.

“You miss her?”

“So much,” he says. “The worst part of it all is that I don’t know how long I am going to be here. It could be a week or a month or longer. It’s unpredictable.”

“If we’re waiting on Steven, it won’t be long,” I say. “He is not patient.”

“He’s been waiting years to get his revenge.”

“No,” I say. “Steven killed my mom. He is the one who put me with that woman. He’s been getting his revenge all these years. Now that I’m here, nothing will stop him.”

“I’m sorry,” Sander says. “Did you tell your dad?”

“I told him yesterday,” I answer. “He didn’t seem surprised.”

“He’s not going to give Steven any mercy. And I don’t blame him. Not only did he kill your mom, but he took you,” he says. “And you are the most important thing to your dad.”

I smile, loving how much my dad loves me.

It’s good to know that somebody cares about me, after going so long without love in my life.

“Enough talk about Steven,” he says. “We talk about him enough.”

“Agree,” I say.

I’m sick of talking about him.

It’s all any of us have talked or thought about for far too long.

“You look happy, despite what is going on,” Sander says.

“I am happy,” I say.

“I’m glad my cousin finally stopped being so stubborn.”

“Me, too.”

“Do you love him?”

“Yes,” I answer. “More than I ever thought possible.”

“Good. He deserves love. And I couldn’t think of anybody more perfectly suited for him than you.”

I smile at his words. “Thank you. Things are... kind of weird here. I don’t get to spend time alone with him, with everybody around all the time. I’m used to it just being us.”

“Ah, you want to make out with my cousin,” he says. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you two get some alone time tonight.”

Sander winks at me.

My face grows warm.
