“Oh, these aren’t my real grandpas,” Ollie explains. “They’re just old and they’re friends of Dad’s.”

Sienna snorts. This time I don’t fight the laugh. Bert is going to be so pissed when I tell him that Ollie thinks he’s old.

“It’s Bert and Ernie,” I tell her. “They live in the area.”

Sienna sucks in a breath. “You still talk to them?”

“Youknowthem?” Ollie asks, wonder in his tone.

It would be best to skirt around the truth here. If our past comes out, I don’t know how her brothers will take it. Still, I don’t believe in lying to my kid.

Apparently, Sienna has similar beliefs. “I met them a long time ago. Briefly,” she says.

“We ran into each other on a snorkeling trip,” I tell him. “Wasn’t planned at all.”

Sienna’s responding smile is so big the skin around her eyes crinkles. “Personally, I think your dad was following me, but he swears it was a coincidence.”

I hum. “A happy coincidence.”

“You guys are weird,” Ollie mutters. “So,” he hedges, peering up at Sienna, “you coming?”

She gives me an uncertain look, like she’s worried I won’t want her there.

Fuck. How could I not? So I dip my chin once.

Even after that silent exchange, I’m certain she’ll turn us down. So I’m shocked when she says yes.

Then again, everything about Sienna tends to shock me.

THIRTY-FIVE

SIENNA

Aiden: Sienna, what are you doing today? Want to go to Disney?

Aiden: Hello?

Gavin: Maybe she’s sleeping.

Aiden: Do you want to go to Disney with me?

Gavin: No.

Brooks: LOL

Beckett: I’d go to Disney with you if I was there. Remember that. I’m the best of your brothers.

Gavin: Ass.

Brooks: You can have the best brother title. I’ll take the extra sleep.

Beckett: Sienna, call me. I want to talk to you about designing a dress for Liv for the Josie Gala.

Brooks: War said Josie is psyched. It’s a great thing you’re doing, brother.

Gavin: Agreed.

Aiden: Do you custom-make suits? I’d definitely rock a pink one to match Lex.
