Claudette had been keeping her distance, but watching him work–saving lives, bringing people back from the brink of death–only deepened her admiration.

She noticed the sweat dripping from his forehead. Her first instinct was to step forward and wipe it away, but she hesitated. Instead of acting on impulse, she took a step back.

Laura approached her with a knowing smile. “You’re hesitating, aren’t you? Mackenzie’s busy right now. As Caden’s godmother, shouldn’t you step in and support him?”

Claudette shook her head with a soft but firm smile. “No, Aunt Laura.”

Regaining her lost memories hadn’t made her the same person she once was. It had given her clarity.

She had finally understood–love didn’t mean holding on. Sometimes, real love meant stepping back and letting someone be happy, even if it wasn’t with you.

If she continued chasing Emmanuel, it wouldn’t be fair to anyone–not to him, Mackenzie, and herself.

Mackenzie had always treated her with kindness. She couldn’t use that as an excuse to create chaos in someone else’s life.

Sometimes, the purest kind of love was knowing when to walk away.

Laura watched her, then sighed in quiet relief. She’s grown past who I once was. There’s no need to push her toward something that was never meant to be. Maybe, sometimes, love is best expressed through letting go.

“Claudette!” Mackenzie suddenly appeared at her side, taking her hand. “I need to go investigate the poisoning with Veronica. Can you hold things down here with Emmanuel?”

Claudette hesitated. “Me? I-”

“Is that a problem?” Mackenzie asked, studying her.

Claudette straightened and quickly shook her head. “No, I can handle it.”

Mackenzie gave her an appreciative smile before turning and heading off with Lexi. They followed Veronica toward the hotel’s security room, determined to find answers.

Inside the hotel’s security room, they reviewed footage from thirty–two different surveillance cameras.

Mackenzie and Veronica were both sharp observers, and it didn’t take long to spot suspicious activity.
