A high-stakes confrontation followed: spreadsheets, depositions, restraining orders… and a lawsuit that flipped everything.

I take my seat between Piper and some second cousin whose name I’ve already forgotten.
Warren, my father, pours wine with the careful attention of a man investing in his son’s future. Blythe hovers near Kalen’s shoulder, straightening his collar even though we’re family, even though none of this requires performance.
Except it does. It always does with him.
