“You look like Dad, too.”
“I see a lot of your mom when I look at you girls,” Dad informs us. “You both have her fire, that’s for sure.” He chuckles softly. “I love that fire.”
“We know you do,” I grumble. “You kiss her senseless every time she gets worked up.”
He grins again. “That, I do.”
“Ugh, Dad.”
“What?”
I just shake my head with a roll of my eyes.
“So…about the audition next weekend…” Mia says.
“Let’s see how the tutoring goes with Willow,” Dad tells her.
“Easy peasy,” she mutters with a smile as she falls back on the seat.
I shoot her a look. “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you because you happen to share my DNA.”
She gives me an innocent face. “I would never in a million years think something like that, dear sis.”
I think I’m in store for a difficult evening.
Chapter Four
Willow
“Why aren’t you paying attention, Mia?” I demand when she, for the millionth time, spins around in her desk chair.
“Did you know this thing can drop down when you’re in the middle of spinning? Watch.” She spins around and drops down, giggling. “So fun.”
“Mia, solve the problem.”
“All right, all right.” She picks up her pencil and scratches it across her math workbook. She barely gets halfway through the problem before lifting her head. “Hey, wanna play the newLegogame on Xbox?”
“Mia, focus on the problem.”
“But I need a break.”
“You just took a break five minutes ago.”
“Did not. Going to the bathroom isn’t a break.”
“Except you snuck downstairs for ten minutes.”
Her eyes bug out.
“Yeah, you’re more predictable than you give yourself credit.”
“I bet you put up spy cameras all over the house,” she mumbles.
“Yeah, I did. So you’d better do the work.”
She narrows her eyes. “Liar. Mom and Dad would never let you do that.”
She’s right, of course. I would never put cameras in private areas. I only put them outside the house and in the hallway and larger rooms like the dining room and living room. But never in anyone’s bedroom. She doesn’t have to know that, though.
