As I brush my hair and knot my tie in front of the mirror, I look myself in the eyes and repeat the rules. Again and again. Rule one: Make sure Felix never learns of my sins. Rule two: No repeating of my sins—at least not with Ms. Tough Girl. Simple. Simple and easy. I put on a brave face and head back downstairs. Everyone’s still there. Felix re-introduces me to each of his four brothers, Darius, Archer, Ronan, and Nolan. I vaguely remember them. My mind tracks back to when I briefly met them back at med school graduation. Karli hadn’t been there, though. I would have remembered Karli.
