Frankie

Dante
Why is it always my fault?
Brooklyn
Your reputation precedes you.
Dante
She read up on me. You know how the press has been. Got miss goody two shoes’ panties in a twist.
Brooklyn
You could tell her the truth about what happened at the World Cup.
Dante
Definitely not. Don’t worry, you’ll both get your autographs and meet and greets. That’s why I’m your favorite brother, right?
Frankie

Why not let some of her good rub off on you for a chance?
Dante
Stop your fretting, children. I’ll be putting the sin in Sinclair in no time.
Chapter 4
Reese
“I hatewhen we don’t talk!” Cleo’s raspy voice floats through the phone. I can picture my best friend lounging on her trailer’s leather couch, dark waves framing her striking face.
“I’ve missed you,” I groan, sitting at my vanity at home in LA. “How’s murder-solving in the wilderness?”
“Yosemite has me paranoid. I’ve been bingeing true crime podcasts, and now I’m convinced every tree is hiding a serial killer.” I smile at her dramatics. “How was the table read?”
“Felix decided Robyn can’t say words like ‘opulent’ because it’s not realistic to the women of the fictional medieval times. Then he revised the script by giving Robyn this tragic romance backstory. When I pointed out that it undermines her motivation to help her village, he smiled and said audiences need to see her heart.”
“These old-school assholes need to stop treating their leading ladies like damsels in distress.”
