Chapter 18

“Anna!” Good morning darling!” Amaria was in my new kitchen and a sweet scent of food was dragging me forward,

“Chocolate chip pancakes as promised. Grayson is an early riser and don’t worry I told him you know,” she set a plate down in front of me. “He’s always been ashamed of his father so I wouldn’t mention it,”

I dug into the pancakes that even if I’d never tell her we’re better than my mom’s. I happily ate and swung my feet like a child. It felt refreshing to be looked after.

She had slightly red hair, freckles, and a sharp face. She was much taller than me and her frame was much more sculpted. Her shoulders were wide yet still feminine. She dressed in gym clothes of a light shade of purple.

“I have no doubt you’re exactly what we all need,” she gave me a grin that she and Amaria shared.

“Come let’s unpack and get you settled,” Amaria ushered us into the living room that had my things piled high.

“Clothes upstairs to the master,” she began.

*Oh goddess no please don’t make me tell them. ”

“Um. Actually I am in a different room. Grayson, he um had one set aside… for me,” I hid my red face from them taking out some blankets from a box to appear busy.

“What!?” my mother–in–law growled and bared her teeth.

“He just wants to wait he said at least until the binding,” I squeezed my eyes shut clutching the blanket so mortified they

had to know this.

“I am going to teach that boy a lesson you do not act so rude to a woman here to care for you!” she started marching off.

“No! No no no please it’s okay I’ve already said my-”
