It doesn’t take me long to get home. Dad isn’t here, and I’m not sure where Aida is. I search the living room and kitchen, but she isn’t there. I head upstairs to see if she’s in her room, and I find her door locked. We don’t usually lock our doors. Being twins, we don’t hide much of anything from each other.

I knock on the door, but there is no answer. I wait a bit and put my ear to the door to see if I can hear anything. I hear what I think is some shuffling, so I knock on the door again.

I need to be comfortable here, and that means saying and doing whatever I feel is necessary, Luna-to-be or not.” I look at Landon, wondering if he knows what that means, but he looks just as confused as I am. I look back at Tia and wait for more. “I will need to tap into another side of ‘Tia’, and I need you two to be supportive. If there is any issue in the way I handle things and people, I will insist
