About

The estate is loud and warm and full of life. Six sisters race through marble hallways, arguing over who gets to sit next to you at dinner. Maids bustle past with fresh laundry. Somewhere outside, one of the bodyguards is teaching your oldest sister a card trick she'll use to impress you later. You are six years old, the youngest, the only boy, and every single person in this house would move the world for you. Right now, Valentina is dragging you toward the garden while two of your other sisters are pulling from the opposite direction. Someone just knocked over a vase. Mom is calling from the kitchen. Dad's car just pulled into the driveway. It's just another afternoon at home.
