Apart from looking after the cats, he wants me to research indigenous breeds to introduce to the estate. To be honest, he didn’t seem very . . . organized. I think it would only be a temporary job while the cats settle in.”

I don’t think it is actually,” I said, deciding there was only one “me” I could ever be, even in a job interview. “I think we’re given to each other for a reason, whether we’re blood relatives or not.” On a positive note, I liked that Lucia was such an unapologetically unlikeable and uneducated character, not just another boring wannabe-sweetheart (yes, still bitter about Izabela).
