    Summary

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law’s. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

    Summary

    “I lost my virginity to one of the Ravens,” Jean had said with a shrug in a moment of silence. “Does that count?”

    The two of them had shared story after story and if Jean was normal in that silence he would’ve shared his own. But he isn’t normal, so he didn’t. He instead said that and didn’t realize the effect it would have until it was too late.

    Jean did not talk about it a lot, at all really, not since Grayson had shown his face and allegedly killed himself a week later. But the girls knew enough.

    Jean had looked up to see small, sad smiles staring back at him. He had meant the words to be casual but the implication made them sink fast like heavy weights dropped into still water. He felt the intense need to claw off his mouth with his nails, but Jean had learned quickly with the Trojans that it was not a thing well-adjusted people do and caused unnecessary worry. Instead, since Jean was still in grips with his sanity, he clenched his hands into fists and let the nails bite into the skin of his palms. Effective and discrete.

    “No, Jean,” Laila had said sweetly. “That doesn’t count. Not if you don’t want it to.”

    Jean hadn’t understood.

     

    Or Jean’s exploration of intimacy and love
