Maddox made sure he got a nod from me before he rushed out of the bedroom. Mom silently locked the door, grabbed an oversized black sweater, and threw it on the bed for me. She turned her face to the other side, as if she hadn't seen me naked.

I grabbed the sweater and slipped into it. I was now wait- ing for my mom to turn around and speak to me. She will probably slap me, or maybe she will try to remind me that Maddox is going to be my stepbrother soon. But she was aw- fully silent all of a sudden.
