Chapter One
Cadence
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
The words ricocheted around in my brain. Shannon Branigan’s older brother was here. In person. Right here. In—
Can I come in?
Uh…
Stay calm.
Marcus had to be here to see the property, because he sure as shit wasn’t here for me. Of course.

Pain shot through me like a knife, visceral and white-hot.
Deep breath.
Miss Mabel died a while back, and Gertie decided to move to Arizona with her grandkids.
