Lodestar: I just wanted to loop you in on some shit that’s going down with your mom.

Cruz: Caroline—what’s she done now?

Lodestar: As we already knew, she’s a Sparrow but the Feds uncovered that in an internal review. She’ll likely be arrested soon. If you want to go see her, now would be the time to do it.

Fifteen minutes later

Lodestar: You okay, Cruz? Talk to me, bud.

Cruz: I’m fine.

Cruz: Appreciate the heads-up, but it wasn’t necessary.

Lodestar: Like that, huh?

Cruz: Yeah, it’s like that.

Cruz: Won’t forget the solid you just did me though, Star.

Lodestar: Think nothing of it, man. Speak soon.

Cruz: Yeah, speak soon.

WISHING ON A STAR - ROSE ROYCE

With Savannah shoving me forward like she was trying to get me to walk off a gangplank, I nearly fell into the hotel room.

“Go on, get in there,” she groused, shoving me extra hard when I wriggled away from her.

“I’m in, I’m in,” I argued with a huff, straightening before immediately groaning at the sight ahead of me.

House parties with the MC were one thing. Afternoon fucking tea with my sisters-in-law was a whole other ball of wax.

At the abruptness of our entry, conversation drifted to a halt.

Awkwardly waving at them, I slunk over to the table where they were seated with those stupid, multitiered plates with cakes, scones, and sandwiches in front of them.

I’d have killed for a steak.

Doing this with Tryn Bowen was bad enough. Savannah just wanted to torture me.

“I wondered when you’d show your face,” Aoife drawled, her tone amused as she poured coffee into a china cup. “You look like you could use this.”

I plunked my ass down in one of the tiny seats. “Yeah, I need it. Savannah dragged me out of my apartment and brought me here. She’s more terrifying than Al Qaeda.”

Savannah shot me a smug smile. “I’ve been taking lessons from Aidan.”

“They’re working.” I yawned. “Okay, so you can carry on talking. Just pretend I’m not here.”

Aela stared at me over Cameron’s head. “Not likely. This isn’t school, you know? Attendance isn’t mandatory.”
