His voice was like a knife, every word carving deep into her chest. “Lily, apologize to Mathilda! I'm giving you
one last chance-divorce James now and give him back to Mathilda, or | swear | won't go easy on you!”
Lily was going to divorce James anyway.
But hearing Bodger and Luna say it like this... she honestly thought they'd lost their minds.
She looked up and met his glare head-on, lips curling into a mocking smile. Every bone in her body seemed to
rebel in unison.
“Mr. Bodger, are you sick or just stupid? | was forced to marry him when you said so, and now I'm supposed to
divorce him because you said so again? Fine, then I'm saying this here and now-I won't apologize to Mathilda, |
won't give her what she wants, and I-”
Smack!
Before she could finish, Bodger’s hand cdown hard across her right cheek, burning with fury.
Luna had slapped her left cheek.
Bodger took care of the right.
The moment the sharp imprint of his palm bloomed across her fair skin, Bodger’s fingertips trembled slightly.
His chest ached with a familiar, unwelctightness.
He couldn’t stop himself from remembering.
Back when Lily first cto the Ginger family/they had still been mourning the loss of Mathilda. He had blamed
himself endlessly for failing to protect his little sister.
He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, didn’t speak to anyone. Once, when a truck was barreling down the street, he
even considered walking into it.
It was Lily who yanked him out of the way.
She'd grabbed his face in her chubby little hands and told him-so seriously-that they would find Mathilda one
day. But if she chand found her big brother gone, how sad would she be?

So he had to stay. Grow up. Be strong. Be the best big brother in the world-for when Mathilda cback.
He had hugged her with everything he had that day.
And sworn to himself that she would be his real little sister. That he would protect her forever.
But in the end... she wasn't his real sister.
After Mathilda returned, Lily kept “hurting” her, kept “bullying” her. They'd already lost Mathilda once- there was
no way they'd let her suffer again. Of course he wouldn't forgive Lily.

As Bodger stood frozen, lost in memory, Lily raised her hand and slapped him right back-harder.
Luna was an elder. Lily had called her “Mom” for over a decade. When Luna slapped her, she held back.
But Bodger? The moment he'd pushed her into the freezing river while she was on her period-all to “stand up”
for Mathilda-he’d stopped being her brother.
So why should she swallow her anger?
“Lily1”
The sting on his left check snapped Bodger out of his daze.
He couldn't believe it-Lily had dared to hit him!
“Bodger, are you okay?” Luna gasped.
She hadn’t expected Lily to raise a hand to Bodger.
Heart aching for her son, she shot Lily a glare sharp as a knife. “You already stole Mathilda’s life! You've bullied
her again and again, taken everything from her-and now you dare hit Bodger? How could you?!”
Mathilda’s big, round eyes were always her strongest weapon.
Now they brimmed with tears, glistening like the saddest little flower on earth.
She reached out with trembling fingers, touching the red mark on Bodger’s face as she sobbed, “I know you hate
me. Maybe | should've never cback. But if you hate me, hit me! Why would you hurt Bodger?!”
For once, Lily thought Mathilda had actually said something reasonable.
Yes-she should be the one getting hit.
Without a word, Lily slapped her.
Hard.
“Aah-1"
Mathilda was stunned.
She had never imagined Lily would
actually hit her—in front of Bodger
and Luna, no less. Quien ker 1

“What's going on?”
