"Cramming in your free time after hours?"

"Something like that. You'll understand when you have a Lonie of your own."

"Lonie is one hundred percent original."

Marie laughs. "I just love the relationship you guys have," she says. "You're an awesome aunt to her."

My throat tightens and burns, but I rush to speak through it. "I don't think you'll feel that way when you hear what I've got to tell you."

"What? What is it?" I hear her pause the TV in the background.

"Eddie circulated a video of us having sex. I didn't know he made the recording. It's up on a free porn site."

"He did what?"

"I know. It's the worst attempt at revenge."

"Revenge for what? He's the one who cheated on you."

"I know." I sigh, meeting Dornan's eyes. He gently touches my face and then steps away, looking at his phone. I dread to think what kind of messages he might be getting about me. The location of the video must be circulating around the university like wildfire.

"So, what the fuck is his problem?"

"He didn't like the games I played with Dornan, Elias, and Travis. I guess he felt humiliated."

"What a fragile ego, small dick man."

I'm not used to my sister speaking that way, so I snort a surprised laugh. "That's about it."

"You need to go to the police. There are laws against this kind of bullcrap."

"I will. I'm going to."

"I'll come with you," she says, then as an afterthought, she asks in a lower tone, "Are you going to tell Mom and Dad?"

"Thank you, and no."

"I know why you wouldn't want to, but maybe you should. I know they've been shit recently. I mean, they never bother to call me to find out about Lonie. When I see Mom, all she wants to do is trash Dad. And Dad has turned into the invisible man."

"I thought it was just me," I admit. Marie was always their favorite, or so I thought.

"Definitely not just you. But they're still our parents. They're self-obsessed, but something this big could yank them out of their funk."

"You're more hopeful than me."

"Should I ask where the video is?"

"I don't want you to watch it," I squeak.

She makes a disgusted noise. "You think I want to seeyou fuck. Jesus, Celine. I just want to do some research."

"I'll message you the site. Don't tell Aiden."

"I won't, but he might be able to help. He has friends in law firms. We might need to draw on some free advice." She always was the practical thinker of the two of us.

"Okay. Maybe. I want to go to the police tomorrow."

"I can come with you. Lonie will be at preschool in the morning."
