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.

“I’m sorry, Princess, but I’m a morning person,” I tell her and stifle a laugh when Winnie cuddles with Jake instead. They are both heavy sleepers and would probably sleep through an earthquake.

I smile at that thought and slide out of bed. I pick up my clothes and head for the kitchen. Someone needs to make breakfast. I’m not

tremors, it’s probably Jake.

“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
