Chapter 209

• Mason's POV
• Today’s been weird. Not in the dramatic, Theo-has-lost-his-mind-again kind of way, which is honestly refreshing. Just…weird. Long. Off-kilter. Maybe because it’s the first time in what feels like forever that we’ve all actually been at work at the same time. Usually one of us stays home with Harper, whether it’s because she’s curled up in a ball of creative chaos or because someone—usually Theo—has decided she’s not allowed to open the fridge without supervision.
• But this morning, we’d all agreed she needed space. Real, uninterrupted time to herself. And shockingly, none of us panicked about it. Well. Not out loud.
