Behind us I could hear Isolde voicing disappointment that he was no longer flirting with her, distress that she could no longer admire his physique, and <em>a variety of lovely agonies<\/em> along those same lines. Jim threw me one last smirk. &#8220;Women. <em>Right?<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For our whole lives it was like this with Jim. Women <em>meeting him for the first time<\/em> fell immediately under his spell. Apparently he expected sympathy from me over it.<\/p>\n<p>Isolde elbowed her way between me and Jim and thrust a baby into my arms. The twins looked an awful lot alike, but I knew this was my daughter <em>because she was wearing a tiara<\/em> on her tiny head. I scowled and plucked the tacky thing off. Isolde, now <em>entirely muffled in scarlet silk<\/em>, handed me my son as well and began a swirling, twirling dance to remove her diaphanous wrapping.<\/p>\n<p>Fleur&#8217;s own drug-induced choreography brought her close and I saw fury in her blue eyes. She was going to attack her sister if I couldn&#8217;t stop her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey Jim,&#8221; I said in a loud, deliberate voice. &#8220;Aunt Xylona told me that Mom had at least three kids with the Warlord of Contraria.
