By the time Charles was four, the whispers had faded into nothing. He had no memory of the chaos that had once surrounded his family. Life had settled into a peaceful rhythm.

His parents‘ relationship seemed solid, and the outside world had no idea about the drama that had once unfolded behind closed doors.

Dylan had that corporate–perfect look that made him seem untouchable. If you didn’t look beneath that flawless façade, you’d never guess what was really going on in his head.

As Charles settled back into the car, he couldn’t help thinking–‘Guess that emotional detachment runs in the family.‘

As Charles leaned back, he heard Yolanda mumble by his side, “We should really drop by more often. This place is pretty far from downtown.”

Charles felt comforted. He scooped her into his arms and gently brushed the tip of her nose.

“My little straight–laced one, don’t you ever hold a grudge?” Charles teased.

It had been ages since she’d heard him call her that–ever since they’d gotten married, Charles hadn’t used that nickname.

“But she’s your sister,” Yolanda said, snuggling closer.

She nestled into his arms, looking sleepy and spent.

After all those rounds of passion last night, and rushing off to Starlight Entertainment first thing this morning, she was completely wiped out.

Charles leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss onto her hair.

For once, the car felt cozy and peaceful–until Charles’s phone started ringing, breaking the mood.

Yolanda’s eyelashes fluttered. ‘Looks like Joelle is about to stir things up, she thought.

Charles glanced at his phone. Sure enough, it was Joelle calling. He answered.

“What’s up?” he asked.
