“Well,” he said, steadier now, “if you need anything, I’m here. I’ve always got your back. Even if I don’t love your choices…” The old bite softened, “You’re my sister.”
“I know.” And she did.
When Daisy ended the call, she tucked Amelia into bed and waited with Anna for Jameson’s statement to go live.
Seconds after his text—It’s finished—Anna’s phone dinged.

Daisy exhaled. Not bad, intriguing, even. The piece was general. There were no names, no specifics, just that he’d had achild with his high-school sweetheart and hadn’t been a part of her life until recently. He ended it by asking for privacy.
Anna set the phone down. “That was… good?”
“Yeah. Short and sweet.”
Daisy spoke too soon.
A flood of alerts hit. Anna’s eyes went wide.
“What?”
She flipped her screen down.
“Nothing.”
“Anna. Show me.”
“It’s just tabloids saying anything to get clicks.”
Daisy snatched the phone anyway.

“Ugh.” Daisy wheezed and tossed the phone onto the couch. “How do people make this up?”
“Because it’s their job. They literally make up stuff for a living.”
“Well, their stuff is messing with me. What am I supposed to tell my daughter?”
“The truth,” Anna said. “That’s all you have. Live by it. God knows I should’ve.”
Daisy winced. In her own mess, she hadn’t asked about Anna’s.
“Did you settle?”
Anna shrugged and took a long exhale. “If you can call itsettling. He got more than I wanted to give, but it’s almost over. Once our divorce is finalized, we’re going out to celebrate next weekend.”
Daisy hugged her. “Definitely.”
