My reflection looked hollow and exhausted, dark circles under my eyes that makeup couldn't quite hide. The walk downstairs felt like walking to my execution. Everyone was already seated when I entered the dining room. Ryker at the head of the table, Mom to his right, and both brothers across from each other. They all looked up when I walked in. "Good morning, honey," Mom said with a smile that dimmed slightly when she saw my face. "How are you feeling?" "Fine," I managed, taking the empty seat next to Mom. "You don't look fine," Ryker observed. His tone wasn't unkind but it wasn't warm either. "Rough night?" Before I could answer, Mateo spoke up from across the table. "
