Alicia shrugged. “I’ll have some after you are settled and safe.”
Julia embraced her sister again. “Oh, Ally, I love you. But please take care of yourself, too.”
“I am. I’m…we’re…I don’t know.”
“Things aren’t going good since he’s been back?”
Alicia heaved a sigh, running a hand through her hair. “It’s just…the same. And besides, we can’t tell anything while we’re here. This isn’t real life. We’re not managing work, and the house, and all of those things. I don’t get to complain about him leaving his chair out because there’s a dozen maids running around to push it in.”
“Well, that’s one less thing to argue about for now,” Julia said with a smile.
“But it’ll be at the top of my priority list when I get back.”
Julia pressed her lips together, trying to search for the words to help her sister, but too many other things crowded into her mind. “Why don’t we sit down and talk tomorrow? I’m a little…tired today, but I want to help.”
“I know you do. And I love you for it. But you have enough on your plate.”
“I have plenty of space for you, too.”
Alicia lifted her eyes to the ceiling. “That’s another thing that’s making this hard on me.”
“That I love you and want to help?” Julia asked.
Alicia’s eyes glistened with tears. “It’s being here. We’re close to each other. I mean, it’s not like living in our old house, but still…it’s nice. I’m just…already missing you, and I haven’t even gone home yet.”
Julia slid her arms around her sister again, holding her close. “Ally, please don’t fret. We’re not going to go as long as we have not seeing each other. Things are different now.”
“It won’t be the same once I go home, though. I just…I’m…sorry, I’m being stupid.” Alicia wiped a few tears from her cheeks.
“Ever think of relocating?”
“And work in the city? Ugh,” Alicia groaned. “But still for you…I may consider it. But then, Ethan…it’s a mess.”
“And it’s a mess that doesn’t need to be sorted out right now. You can take some time to think and breathe.”
Alicia blew out a long breath. “Yeah, you’re right. Okay. Let’s talk tomorrow?”
“Yep. For now, though, I need to run. I’d like to see Grant and Kyle.”
“Bye, sis,” Alicia said as they parted ways.
Julia hurried toward the stairs and down to the foyer. Worthington strode across it as she hit the marble floor.
“Oh, Worthington, just the man I’d like to see.”
“Have you slept well, Mrs. Harrington? Might I bring you anything?”
“No, nothing, and I slept just fine. Have you seen Grant or Kyle? Only Sierra was still asleep when I woke up.”
“I have not.”
“Maybe Grant’s still asleep.”
“He was asleep in the armchair in Dr. Carter’s room. To my knowledge, he has not returned to your room.”
She furrowed his brow at the words as worry started to course through her. Where were Kyle and Grant?
“Would you like me to call Max?”
