“See?” She throws her arms up in the air. “This is what I deal with.That’s not even the half of it. When he was on his ‘Sean Goes Wild’ bender, he fucked?—”
“That’s enough!” he snaps, covering her mouth.
Her muffled voice comes from beneath his palm, then she bats his hand away. “Stop, Junior. Fuck. It’s the truth . . . anyways, none of that was your fault, and I’m genuinely sorry for dragging you into our sibling warfare. I thought you were just another girl he was screwing around with.”
“Viv!”
“Clearly, I was very wrong.” She quickly recovers, holding her hands up in surrender. “Will you forgive me? I’ll even let you in on the revenge plot the next time?—”
“There won’t be a next time.” Sean glares, cutting her off.
“Okay, see? You’re such a fucking drama queen. I swear to God. Would you shut up and let me finish apologizing?” Her eyes take a turn around her head as Granny cackles from the recliner. Viviana focuses on me again. “You matter to him. Which means you matter to me. Can we start over?”
I stare at her for a long moment, taking her in. The sting in my chest eases up a bit, and I release a sigh. “Okay.”
“Viv?” Aiden asks from the doorway.
“Oh, fuck,” she breathes.
Jade runs past us, her arms wide open. “Granny! I missed you. Daddy said we’re bustin’ ya outta of this joint.”
“How? What? W-what are you doing here?” Aiden stutters, his brows pulling together in confusion.
Sean’s eyes bounce between Aiden and Viviana. “How do you two know each other?”
“She’s the girl from Vegas. Remember? I told y’all about her. How do you know her? What the hell is . . .” He shakes his head like he’s trying to clear his thoughts. “I’m so fucking confused right now.”
No freaking way. No. Freakin’. Way.
SEAN’S LITTLE SISTER IS PTERODACTYL GIRL?!
“Vivana. You better start explaining right fucking now,” Sean snaps.

“Wait. Wait. Wait,” Hannah rushes out, glancing over at Jade. “I think this might be an adult only conversation . . . Jade, want to go upstairs and watch a movie?”
“Can I watch Ariel?”
“Anything you want, baby,” she says, taking her by the hand and leading her out of the room.
God, I love that woman.
I turn my focus back to my sister. “Alright. Now, spill,” I clip.
“She approached me at the bar in the casino after you—” Aiden starts but is quickly cut off by my sister.
“Remember when we were at dinner and you said you needed to get back to Aiden? After you left, I followed you. I watched you two, plotting my next move, and I was just about to give up, but then you ran off with those two women and left him standing at the bar. Which was rude, by the way. There were enough women for each of you to take one. Doesn’t surprise me though. You’ve always been selfish, but it worked out for me this time because you gave me the perfect opportunity to strike.”
“Why the fuck would you do that?” I ask.
“Because you fucked my best friend. I thought it was only fair to fuck yours back . . . but then Pterodactyl boy over here nearly broke his dick, and well . . . my revenge didn’t work out quite how I wanted it to.”
“Do you know how goddamn immature you sound right now, Viviana? Hmmm?”
“You didn’t just fuck Ava, okay? You messed with her head.”
