“Well…that answers that question, and a few
others,” Mark said.

“He’s coming here. My whole family is coming
here,” I murmured, clutching the note to my chest like a
lifeline.

“There’s something else too,” Aries said,
standing up and walking to the door. “I found Sienna’s mother. She
doesn’t want her back.”

“Oh!”

“You’re sure?” Mark asked.

“I’m sure. She didn’t even want to know where
the child is staying. I’m sorry.”

“I’m not. We’ve got another daughter.”

“Yes, we do.” I managed a real smile then.
“Hey, Aries, where are you going?”

“I’ll be back later,” she said shortly, then
slipped out the door.

“Is she okay?” Marta hitched a thumb in her
direction.

“Yeah, is something wrong?” Mark was
concerned.

“She just needs a minute, that’s all.” I
smiled ruefully, thinking of Aries and my brother. “I’m sure she’ll
be fine.”

“Well, I guess we’ve got everything settled,
then,” Marta said, looking eager to get the hell out of the
library.

“Yes, looks like. Come on, Marta, let’s leave
the newlyweds alone for a minute and go tell Sienna that she’s
officially a member of this family.”

“So…what now?” Mark asked once we were alone.
“We’ve got a little time before your family gets here.”

“Hmmm…how about a honeymoon?”

“Why, Mrs. Greer, I thought you’d never
ask.”
