CHAPTER 43

  Rebel

  "You're not staying another day in this apartment!" Alice exclaims while throwing my clothes into an empty suitcase on my bed. "You're coming with us! And you're staying with us until you're back to health!"

  "Hey, you shouldn't overwork yourself," Nathan releases the triple stroller and places a hand on his wife's shoulder. "Take it easy. You know your back isn't in its best shape after your pregnancy."

  "I'm not handicapped, Nathan!"

  "Yes, you are, and I'm not going to watch this anymore!" Nathan snaps back at her and picks her up like it's nothing. I find great amusement in watching my sister try to fight her giant husband.

  Alice kicks with her legs, which Nathan ignores. He doesn't look one bit bothered, which infuriates my sister even more.

  Soon, she sounds like an angry demon. "Release me! Put me down!"

  "I don't want to..." Nathan nuzzles her hair, practically purring from having her so close. And I can see my sister's resistance melting.
