somnioergosum: (There's no you except in my dreams)

"No," Ronan said. He avoided Saturday's eyes, something that was all the easier given how she dismissive she was of all of this. That shouldn't make it easier but he preferred it to intrusive questions from people he loved, who he wanted to explain it all to and couldn't.

He thought of the dream of his father.

'Tell me what you meant in the will.'

'It's a loophole.'


Had that really been his father or had it been his subconscious talking to him? He knew what he needed to believe.

No, Declan might not know why he did it. But Ronan did and he hadn't told his brother. Their family loved its secrets.

"My mom went into a coma. She had to stay at home. We hired nurses to take care of her. And if we went back, we'd lose our inheritance and the Barns." Ronan had only cared about the latter but Declan reminded him that they actually needed money for things like school, food, a home, and they needed all that to take care of Matthew.
