Chapter 7 — Marcus Defends His Sister
Marcus stepped fully into the guest room.
His voice lowered.
“She’s my sister, Sarah.
She hit rock bottom.
What was I supposed to say? No?”
“You could have told me the moment she called,” Sarah said.
“You could have discussed it like a husband.
Instead, you took her side before we even had a conversation.
Just like old times.”
Marcus stopped.
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means whenever Elena makes a mess, you clean it up behind my back.
And I am always the last person to find out.”
Maya walked past the open door and kept walking down the hall.
