After Death, Love Unveiled

Elara had no idea that Adair had been harboring a grudge against her, let alone that Adair always assumed the worst of her. In truth, Elara had never mentioned anything about Adair and Asher to the family. Now, seeing Adair greet her, Elara asked, "Why'd you bring him here?" Her eyes shifted briefly to Asher.

Elara felt that Adair's tone carried a hint of sarcasm, but since their relationship was never particularly close, she didn't dwell on it. Without further ado, Elara walked into the hospital room to check on Felicity.
