Sienna’s Pov
The sun was just rising over the quiet morning streets as Dominic drove us to my mother’s house.
My heart beat in a fast, nervous rhythm against my ribs the whole drive. I had barely slept last night, worrying about what my mother needed to tell us. Was her medical treatment failing? Was she sick again? Was there another hidden debt left behind from our dark past?
Dominic kept one hand on the steering wheel and reached across the seat with his other hand, wrapping his warm fingers around mine.
"Stop worrying, trouble," Dominic said softly, his deep voice soothing my panicked mind. "We will face whatever it is together."
We pulled up to the cozy, suburban home. We walked up the front steps, and before I could even ring the bell, my mother opened the door.
