to you about the twins?”
Karen was quiet long enough that I looked at Daniel. He had stopped working.
“She talks about them all the time,” Karen said. “Mostly Leo.”
“How?”
“Like he is already part of the Sterling family in a way that is different from Luna.”
Daniel straightened in his chair.
I kept my voice even. “What does that mean?”
Karen turned off the water. “She keeps saying there will be a place for him with us. She says the family needs to stay involved.”
“Did she ask you to do anything?”
“Not exactly.”
That answer stayed between us.
“What did she ask you to do?”
Karen gave a short laugh that had no humor in it. “She said there would be a private family discussion after the delivery.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Who is supposed to be there?”
“My mother. Me. You, I guess.”
“And Leo?”
