Charlotte pushed open the hospital room door. Inside, only Tricia was there.

Tricia eyed her warily. “What are you doing here, Charlotte?”

Charlotte stopped by the bedside, drew a steady breath, and met Tricia’s gaze. “I’m willing to let the past go. We’re even. But I have one condition: stay out of Hiram’s trial.”
