It takes forever to drive back to Stoneview. The evening traffic on the way from Washington D.C. slows us down, and when Sam's phone rings, my eyes stay stuck on the car screen.
Lovebug.
That's his nickname for my sister.
"I want to kill you," I say simply.
He hangs up on her, and a laugh bubbles in my throat. "Good luck when you get home."
"I told you I couldn't be late for dinner. There are rules to make a polyamorous relationship work, Nate. Having dinner together is one of them for us."
"So what? They let you get away with being a hitman, so long as you wash the blood off your hands before you sit down to eat?"
"Precisely."
I shake my head as my thoughts go back to my sibling, Rose. "You should have left this life behind. My sister deserves better than a man who works for me."
His jaw clenches, his hands tightening around the steering wheel. "I tried to leave it behind."
"It's disappointing that you failed."
