Phoenix whispers to me, “She’s trouble, isn’t she?”
“Dude, she was taught by the best.” I motion between me and Eliot. “She’s basically our protégé.”
“Protégé of what?” he teases.
I shove his face playfully.
He takes the opportunity to wrap me in a hug and kiss my neck. Letting me go too fast, but I will entice him back. I’ve proven very good at this.
Charlie, Beckett, and Ben arrive with more carts filled with Audrey’s belongings, and we all help her unload her things while Eliot assists in sorting her novels. I see him feeling the embossed titles, but Audrey doesn’t notice he can’t read them.
Eliot slips me a conspiratorial glance. The two of us agreed dividing and conquering is what’s best for our younger siblings at this precious point in their lives.
It’s the first time Eliot and I aren’t living together, but he’s not far. Being next-door neighbors sounds like a new circle of mayhem.
We exchange rising grins.
SILVER SWEET
“It is my soul that calls upon my name:
How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!”
- Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
