Falling in Love with the Man of My Nightmares (That's [Para]Normal #4)

by Camilla Evergreen

I look up and find Pollux and Andromeda with their faces pressed to the tempered glass feet from me. “Mrs. Role! Mrs. Role! I’m going to do a trick with Daddy. Take a video!” Her voice barely registers outside the box, but either her screaming or the shape of her lips as they move helps get the point across. I open Pollux’s camera and hope the trick isn’t something that will raise my blood pressure. “Okay! Be careful!” “In love,” Zahra murmurs as she sits beside me. “Shut up.” Andromeda darts off, picks up speed, then goes flying toward her father’s arms. In flawless sync, he lifts her, turns, and releases her like a bullet to go darting around the rest of the rink. My littles scream, cheering, and half of them scramble toward Pollux on their unsteady blades. “Me next!” “No, me!” “Guys, guys, make a line. Take turns!” Mia demands. Wary, Pollux looks at me, and I catch his worried expression on camera before I turn off the video. Yes, I’m sending the video to my phone. Yes, I’m going to save that expression as a picture.
