“Then why are you not fighting this?”
“You’re not like a lot of fifteen-year-old girls, are you?”
“Newsflash, I’m a Denton. I don’t want to get married to you. I’m fifteen.”
“You think I haven’t fought?” Mason asked. “They were planning on us marrying on your sixteenth birthday. You think my father will care that you’re young? This is a business deal to them. A means to an end.”
“I don’t like it.”
“You think I do? I tried to make them wait. To see that you needed time.”
“You don’t even know me.”
“You’re fifteen, and as I’ve been told, you’re not going to stay young forever. It seems my father likes the idea of having a Denton under his roof. Negotiating a virgin one is just the cherry on top of the cake.”
“You’re sick.”
“I’m a realist. This wedding is happening whether you like it or not.”

She followed her brother in.

“What’s going on?”
“I’m being extra cautious right now.”
“Why?”
“The Savonas are in our house. There’s five of them.”
“And?”
“And, I don’t trust them. You never trust the enemy.”
“Are you wanting to go and camp outside Tamsin’s door?”
“Jacobs is taking the first shift.”
“I was kidding,” she said.
“I know and it was so cute, but this is serious. I love my sister.”
