Grumbling, I wake up to the sound of birdsong coming from outside and find an unnatural weight on my arm. When I glance to my right, my heart swells at the sight.

Winnie is wedged between Jake and me. She is a small little thing but surprisingly strong. Her hand is gripping my forearm with such force I feel bad about removing her fingers.

“Hey…”

I glance over my shoulder. “You didn’t wake up Winnie?”

“No…” he scratches his neck. We both have the same kind of hair that never seems to

stop growing. “I actually wanted to talk to you about something…”

“Hmm?”

Jake pulls out a chair, grimacing. Whatever it is must be important. We might be twins, but Jake is the silent type. He isn’t
