"Morgan, how come I never knew you had a sister?" Josie asked, half leaning against the railing.

Morgan's expression stiffened. "Who told you?"

"Jasper."

"She's been dead for many years now. There's no need to bring it up."

"You're so worried about him, but it's only because of the child between you two, and your ties with the Olsen family.
