Malum interrupted their dispute, “Egan, control your girlfriend and your child.” Three mouths dropped. Jinx pointed at us aggressively, like us being her parents was the worst fate in all the realms. “You think they sired me. Them? Those idiots? Right there? The ignorant ones that are still hugging?” Sadie sighed and said sarcastically, “Darling, it’s almost your bedtime. Don’t be difficult for Mommy.” I hid my laughter with a cough. “I’m going to stab you both in your sleep.” I made a mental note to stay awake the entire weekend. Because Jinx kept her promises.
