Toni threw herself in the lawn chair besideme, doing this without sloshing even a drop out of her mojito.
The girl was good.
“I am not feeling this,” she declared, gaze aimed across myparents’ backyard to Lena and her new fiancé, Kenneth.

She turned her head to me, lifting her drink to her mouth,but before taking a sip, said under her breath, “Darius get the skinny on himyet?”
“He’s not a fan,” I saidunder mine.
“Is that an understatement?”she asked.
I gave her big eyes.
“Shit,” she said, turning back to Lena draped on Kenneth.“He got anything like those photos he got on Michael?”
“He’s working on it.”
“You know, Tony is a construction foreman,” she told mesomething I did, indeed, know.
I confirmed I knew it and drew it out.“Yeeessss.”
“He’s not a master sleuth.He can’t keep coming up with thedirty on Lena’s boys.She’s gonna start thinking it’s weird.”
“It only happened that once.”
“We pinned nasty pictures on him knowing someone who knewsomeone who could look into things, which wasn’t a total lie, since he knowsyou, and you know Darius.And you know, Denver’s a big city, but it’s also asmall town.To her, Darius was your past, but everyone knows Eddie Chavez is acop, now he’s made detective, and it wouldn’t be hard to put those two togetherto get what you need to keep your sister from making shit decisions about themen she lets in her bed.”
Uh-oh.
She’d been keeping my secret for a long time now.
Years.
