“Locked up? Luce, you and I both toured the grounds. You couldn’t find a five-star hotel that looked better than that place.”
“Of course I could find a better five-star hotel. Do you know who I am?”
I chuckle.
She smiles reluctantly.
“I’m… sorry, Dare.”
I shake my head. “Enough with the apologies.”
“You must hate me.”
“Sometimes.”
She gives me the side-eye.
“But we’re family.”
“We’re burdens.” She rubs her elbow.
“You’re my world. You and Talia.”
She frowns. “I… I’ll call Talia’s father. Since we’re in-between nannies, it’s best if she stays with him.”
“Whoa. Whoa. The bastard who can’t be bothered to call Talia more than once a year? You want to leave her with that guy?”
“Do you have a better alternative?”
“Yeah. Me.” I hook a thumb in my jacket.
My sister stares blankly. Then she tilts her head back and laughs.
Offended, I fold my arms over my chest. “What’s wrong with me?”
“Mosely? Mosely?” Lucy yells.
My executive assistant darts around the corner. “Yes, Ms. Sullivan.”
“Did my brother drink tonight? Let him take that breathalyzer test too.”
“You’re pushing it, Luce.”
“And so are you.”
I grunt.
“Well, that sobered me all the way up,” Lucy says, wiping at her eyes. She motions to the car and Mosely runs around to open the door for her.
I stomp to the other side and slide into the backseat.
Mosely starts driving.
In the silence, Lucy covers her face and chuckles.
Freaking siblings.
My sister caused a giant mess thatIcleaned up, and she thinks I’m not qualified to look after Talia for a few months?
