"I heard sister-in-law is going to college?" Hazel asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah."
Leo's face softened, just slightly, at the mention of Bella. Hazel noticed.
"You should take her on more dates," Hazel said, her voice teasing but sharp. "When was the last time you went on a date?"
Leo's jaw tightened. "That's none of your business."
"It's my business when my brother might lose his wife to some young, handsome classmate." Hazel tilted her head. "College boys are very persistent, I hear. Very charming. Very available."
Leo's gray eyes darkened. "Bella is loyal."
"So was Nicolas." Hazel's voice was flat. "At least, I thought he was."
Leo's expression flickered. A sore point. She had aimed and hit.
"Bella is nothing like Nicolas," he said, his voice low.
