“Jesus.” I slap a hand on my face as he joins my mother. They’re making an ambush, and I want to go over, but it’s going to make things worse.
Instead, I get another drink to nurse.
A ring . . .
I glance over, and Sarah’s looking at me with darkness, but then she smiles at my mother. Even from here, I can see they’re both enamored with her, probably naming babies I’m not about to have and . . .

“Sarah. When she goes.”
I frown and grip my glass so tight it’s a wonder it doesn’t break. “She’s not going anywhere. In fact, I’m thinking of moving things to a different level.”
“Different? How are you gonna do that?”
