I want to help, Yelena. Even if it means tracking down another of that same bike.

[‘ 𝓔melia @ofcherrybcmbs]

I know— it was stupid. It’s just a bike so

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

The girls would love that. She’ll make some sandwiches for the four of them.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

Then what would you like me to do, Yelena? I can’t make her un-break it.

[‘ 𝓔melia @ofcherrybcmbs]

that’s not the point— that bike meant more than just a ‘ bike ‘ . . .

doesn’t matter— forget I said anything.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

Melina will buy her a new bike. Even if she didn’t raise her girls to be tattletales, cough.

[‘ 𝓔melia @ofcherrybcmbs]

@VeiledWarden , Natasha broke her bike and isn’t buying her a new one—

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

I suppose I don’t deserve the mother title.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

If I could do it all over again, I’d have tried my damnedest to save you both. It will always be my biggest regret.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

She might take them down to the neighborhood park. If Ana would like to come meet them there..

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

You are still my child, big girl. No matter if we are blood or not.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

She might be new at the mothering thing, but she wouldn’t let them harm each other.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

You’ve known that longer than she has!

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

Something like that. She’ll intervene if there’s any crying or blood.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

Natasha, don’t pick on your baby sister.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

Just her girls fighting, again.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

Just watching in amusement.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

@widowssecret — know what it means now. We could be hurt or killed over this. But I don't want to stop. I don't think I can stop."

She sipped from her coffee before placing down the mug. Her legs lifting into a standing position. "I'll do anything to make you happy, even if I hate dancing."

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

She's slipped out of @widowssecret's bed around 4am and gone out onto the back porch. A cigarette needed after the things she's done — though she doesn't regret any of it.

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

@widowssecret She was wearing a pair of shorts and tank top, the rest of her clothes likely still on the floor of Ana's bedroom. The same one she probably did similar unspeakable things with her husband in. Oh, god... What was she doing?

"I don't regret what we did, Ana. I just... I don't —

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

@widowssecret — feeling nervous. Never had she done anything like what they'd done last night. Or felt the things that she had while under Ana's touch.

"This is dangerous, Ana. You know that, right?"

[Melinɑ Vostokoff. @VeiledWarden]

@widowssecret She thought about the offer for a moment, but ultimately shook her head with a loud sigh. It was too much of a risk. And she'd already put herself in danger, knowing Dreykov likely had other widows undercover.

"Alexei might see." She turned her head to look at Ana, suddenly —
