Kyra waited until everyone was asleep.
That had become her routine lately.
Not because she was doing anything bad.
At least she didn’t think it was bad.
It was just something she wasn’t ready to share.
Something that belonged only to her.
The house had finally grown quiet.
The endless noise that came with six children living under one roof had disappeared for the night. No more arguments from Kade. No more dramatic stories from Kira and Kaia. No more Kai acting like he was responsible for the entire world.
Just silence.
Soft.
Comfortable.
Safe.
Kyra sat up in bed and looked toward the doorway.
Nothing.
The hallway remained dark.
Slowly, she reached beneath her mattress.
Her fingers immediately found the envelope.
The same envelope she had hidden weeks ago.
The same letter
