Athena had never intended to stir up trouble for herself, at least not so soon. But the moment she heard those words, her pupils contracted sharply in disbelief.

Maggie's smile twisted into something manic. "Didn't they say his ashes were taken overseas all those years ago? Funny thing-turns out that man never really loved Kerwin.
