quite good."

I played along, not wanting to worry her. "That's nice. I'm glad they're taking good care of you."

As we ate, I caught Lucas's eye: The slight narrowing of his gaze told me he'd also recognized the distinctive aroma of the

premium venison that could only come from Amber Crest. Only Ethan could have arranged this, a gesture that stirred conflicting
