As we walked home, Claire pulled out a recipe from her purse. “I have my mom’s cookie recipe.”
“Thank you for bringing her back to me.” I smiled. “I know I didn’t recognize her before… so much time has passed, Claire. But now…”
“Everything’s different,” she finished for me. “Look, I know we still have a contract, but I see you differently now, Adam. Let’s… get to know each other better.”

It had always lived in the people they believed were beneath them.
Love had never lived in my parents’ money.
