Seraphina’s POV 1

I woke up to the smell of coffee and bacon.

For one perfect, stupid moment, I forgot where I was. Forgot what I’d done. My hand reached across the couch for Adrian, the way it always did in the mornings when he’d crawl into bed with me.

Empty space.

Reality crashed back in. The Morrison’s living room. Three hundred miles from my babies.

From my family.

*Former family,* I corrected myself, sitting up and wiping my face. *They’re better off without you.*

But the thought felt hollow. Wrong. Like trying to convince myself the sky was green instead of blue.

“Good morning, sweetheart!” Margaret’s voice floated in from the kitchen, bright and warm. “Coffee’s ready! Come eat before it gets

cold!”

I pulled on yesterday’s clothes and padded into the kitchen, where Margaret was flipping pancakes with the same easy efficiency she

probably brought to everything in her life. Robert sat at the table reading a newspaper, reading glasses perched on his nose.

“Morning,” I managed, my voice rough from crying.

“Sit, sit!” Margaret gestured to the empty chair with her spatula. “You look like you didn’t sleep at all. Here, drink this.” She pressed a mug

of coffee into my hands before I could protest.

Caleb appeared in the doorway, hair damp from a shower, looking disgustingly well–rested. “Morning. You sleep okay?”

“Fine.” I lied.

His eyes said he knew better, but he just grabbed his own coffee and settled across from me.

Margaret loaded my plate with pancakes, bacon, eggs–enough food to feed three people. “Eat up. You need your strength.”
