Some part of me recognizes that I've let someone into my life who doesn't follow my rules. Who wears sparkly clothes in my muted house.

Who calls Steven "Steve" without permission.

Who offers to take my son places I wouldn't ever consider going.

I've built systems to manage every aspect of my life—financial, professional, personal. Clean lines. Predictable outcomes.

Lindsay isn't a system.

And that's a real risk.

Not her money. Not her fame. Not even her inexperience with both.

The real risk is that I might actually like having her here.

And that was never part of the plan.
