I’m going to castrate him.
“He said there’s no one else, but who calls off a wedding like this? Huh?” Kiki looks at me, choking on emotion. “Why don’t I ever get my fairytale ending, Si?”
Fresh sobs take over, and all I can do is hold her, kissing her forehead as I guide her to the sofa.
“I’ve got you, Kiki. I’m here.”
She lays in my arms, crying silently.
I don’t ask, and she doesn’t tell.
We sit there, hugging one another like it’s all that matters.
“I love you,” I remind her, and she smiles, her fists curled up in front of her face as she rests in my chest.
I do, I really do.
Kiki is like my sister, and when she hurts, I hurt.
“I love him.” Her words are barely audible as she screws her face up, shaking her head as though she’s in agony. “But he doesn’t love me back. What do I do, Sierra?”
There’s not much I can say, but I’d do anything to soothe her.
“Everything happens for a reason, love. Just give it time; maybe he’s…”
There’s not one thing I can think of that justifies Greg’s actions.
“A prick?” Kiki offers, and I bury my head in her hair.
“Yeah. Maybe he’s one of those.”

CRANE
“He never was the type to keep his dick in his pants,” Kai mutters into the phone, rolling his eyes at me as I lean against the doorway. “Is she okay?”
He chews his lip, shaking his head as his eyes meet mine.
“Greg’s cheated on Kiki.” He covers the phone to whisper to me.
Oh.
That sucks.
“Alright, sis. Hey, are you and Declan still doing that date thing on Friday? Lorena was wondering if you wanted to join her and Mom for some girl bonding stuff.”
Friday?
Shit, she has a date with Declan that evening now?
I don’t know what else I expected to be honest—Sierraisin a relationship, after all.
“Oh, he didn’t say anything.”
Kai lifts his gaze to me, accusing eyes accompanying the frown on his forehead. “Just the two of you?”
Another frown.
