My lips twitched. “Finn, I didn’t know you cared.”
His cheeks flushed with color. “Fuck off.”
Still smiling, I pressed a kiss to Jake’s forehead and gave him a gentle hug.
“Conor?” Aoife asked, her voice quiet.
“Yes, sis?”
“Y-You are coming home, aren’t you?”
Finn stiffened. “What are you talking about? Of course, he is.”
Ignoring him, I locked my eyes on hers. “Not until I bring Star back with me. She’s my penguin,” I said simply. “You’ve all got yours. I want mine so I’m not going to stop until she’s here. With me. Understand?”
Her nod was slow in coming but I knew she understood.
A glance at Finn told me he did too.
Begrudgingly.
After the last couple years they’d endured together, how couldn’t they understand the importance of being with the right person?
But I was an adult. I didn’t need to ask permission to do dick in my life.
Star was mine.
She’d gotten me involved in no less than three conspiracies with repercussions I didn’t even want to imagine right now, and I wasn’t about to do this on my own.
We were a team. She might have forgotten that because she was an only child and I had brothers coming out of the woodwork, but it was about time that she was reminded of that fact.
Whether she liked it or not.

PAST
Star:Are you angry with your da for cheating on your mom?
Conor:Honestly?
Star:Why would I want you to lie?
Conor:Fair point. Lol.
Conor:No. I’m not mad.
Star:Why not? You love your ma, don’t you?
Conor:I do. Even if she is a headcase.
Star:To be honest, raising all those boys probably did most of the legwork in making her insane.
Conor:True. ;) I, of course, was a saint, but I’m thinking that being kidnapped by Aryans was more of an issue.
Star::/ Forgot about that.
